Why do basic initial value problems have exactly one solution? This video discusses the uniqueness of solutions and explains why the exponential function is the only solution to the basic initial value problem for x' = ax.

Please do a similar video for second-order ODEs.

The fact that u(t) is a constant multiple of v(t) and vice versa shows that all (homogeneous) solutions (of x'-ax ) belong to a one-dimensional vector space. Is the term vector space correct in this context?
