For a homogeneous linear equation with constant coefficients, writing \( D = \partial/\partial x \) and \( D' = \partial/\partial y \), the auxiliary equation is formed by substituting

  • A.\( D' = mD \)
  • B.\( D = mD' \) with \( m \) the dependent variable
  • C.\( D = e^{m} \)
  • D.\( D' = D^{2} \)

Answer: A

Putting \( D' = mD \) reduces the operator polynomial to one in \( m \), whose roots \( m_{1}, m_{2}, \dots \) give the solution as a sum of arbitrary functions:

\[ z \;=\; f_{1}(y + m_{1}x) + f_{2}(y + m_{2}x) + \cdots \]

Each root contributes one arbitrary function, in place of the arbitrary constant an ordinary equation would contribute
