Given the Differential Equation is
y+6y+12y=0
This is a second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients
Auxilary Equation is
m2+6m+12=0
Solve This quadratic equation.
Compare with:
ax2+bx+c=0
So roots are
x=b±b24ac2a
Here,
a=1, b=6, c=12
Hence,
m=6±36482
=6+122
=6+3i2
=3±3i
So here Roots of equations are complex
So Solution of Ordinary differential equation with root a+ib and a-ib is
y=eax[C1cosbx+C2sinbx]
Here a=3 and b=3
So the solution is
y=e3x[C1cos3x+C2sin3x]
