(a) Find the solution of the differential equation
y′′−y′−6y=0
that is bounded as x→∞ and satisfies y=1 when x=0.
(b) Solve the difference equation
(yn+1−2yn+yn−1)−2h(yn+1−yn−1)−6h2yn=0.
Show that if 0<h≪1, the solution that is bounded as n→∞ and satisfies y0=1 is approximately (1−2h)n.
(c) By setting x=nh, explain the relation between parts (a) and (b).
