Proof when the non-homogeneity is the Dirac Delta Function

[mario99]

[math]P(x)y'' + Q(x)y' + R(x)y = \delta(x - s)[/math][math]a < x < b[/math]
I want to prove the following theorem:

[math]y'(x_{+}) - y'(x_{-}) = \frac{1}{P(x)}[/math]
when

[math]P(x) \neq 0[/math][math]y(a) = y(b) = 0[/math]

Any help would be appreciated.

You have clearly stated elsewhere that you are not going to post your work on these problems. Until you do, we can't really help you.
