Answer

(a) $$L(2e^{3x}) = 2e^{3x}(3 - x)$$ (b) $$L(3 ln(x)) = \frac 3x(1 - x^2 ln(x))$$ (c) $$L(2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x)) = 2e^{3x}(3 - x) + \frac 3x (1 - x^2 ln(x))$$

Work Step by Step

1. Determine Ly: $$Ly = y' - xy$$ (a) 2. Substitute y = $2e^{3x}$: $$L(2e^{3x}) = (2e^{3x})' - x(2e^{3x})$$ 3. Derivate: $$L(2e^{3x}) = 6e^{3x} - 2xe^{3x} = 2e^{3x}(3 - x)$$ (b) 2. Substitute y = $3 ln(x)$: $$L(3 ln(x)) = (3 ln(x))' - x(3 ln(x))$$ 3. Derivate: $$L(3 ln(x)) = \frac{3}{x} -3x \space ln(x) = \frac 3x(1 - x^2 ln(x))$$ (c) 2. Substitute y = $2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x)$: $$L(2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x)) = (2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x))' - x(2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x))$$ 3. Derivate: $$L(2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x)) =( 6e^{3x} + \frac{3}{x} ) - 2xe^{3x} -3x \space ln(x) $$ $$L(2e^{3x} + 3 ln(x)) = 2e^{3x}(3 - x) + \frac 3x (1 - x^2 ln(x))$$
