The characteristic equation is given by
r2+4=0
and has the roots r1=2i and r2=2i
The general solution is given by
y=c1cos2x+c2sin2x, where c_1 and c_2 are arbitracy constant.
This differential equation has infinitely many solutions since there is no initial conditions to determine a particular solution.
