Answer

$W(1,cos(t),sin(t))(t)=1$

Work Step by Step

we veriy the given functions are the solutions of the differential equation by plugging them into it: $y=1\;\;\;\rightarrow \;\;\;{1}'''+{1}'=\;0+0=0\\\\$ $y=cos(t)\;\;\;\rightarrow \;\;\;{cos(t)}'''+{cos(t)}'=\;sin(t)-sin(t)=0\\\\$ $y=sin(t)\;\;\;\rightarrow \;\;\;{sin(t)}'''+{sin(t)}'=\;-cos(t)+cos(t)=0\\\\$ $W(1,cos(t),sin(t))(t)=\begin{vmatrix} 1 & cos(t) & sin(t)\\ {1}' & {cos(t)}' & {sin(t)}'\\ {1}'' &{cos(t)}'' & {sin(t)}'' \end{vmatrix}\;\;=\;\;\begin{vmatrix} 1 & cos(t) & sin(t)\\ 0& -sin(t) & cos(t)\\ 0 & -cos(t) & -sin(t) \end{vmatrix}\;\;=\;\;1.\begin{vmatrix} -sin(t) &cos(t) \\ -cos(t) & -sin(t) \end{vmatrix}\;=\;1.[\;sin^2(t)\;+\;cos^2(t)\;]\;=\;1.[1]=1\\\\$ $W(1,cos(t),sin(t))(t)=1$
