According to my text:
If we know one solution $y_1$ to $y^{"} + p(x)y' + q(x)y = 0$ then a second independent solution $y_2$ can be found if we perform a reduction of order by substituting $y(x) = u(x)y_1(x)$.
$$y' = u'y_1 + uy_1'\\ y^{"}= u^{"}y_1 + 2u'y_1' + uy_1^{"}$$
There is more to this derivation but I am not interested in it. My question is where did the 2 come from in the second order differential equation above?
