y664y=0
d6ydx664x=0
(D664)y=0
So for C.F. D664=0
D6=64
D6=26D
So D=±2
So y=c1e6{2x}+c2e2x

So, y664y=0
If y=emx is a solution
y1=memx
y6=m6emx
So, m6emx64emx=0
m6=64
So, m=±2,±(1+i3),±(1+i3)
So, m=2,+2,i+i3,1+i3,1i3,1i3
So, [y=c1e2t+c2e2t+c3e(1+i3)+c4e(1+i3)t+c5e(1+i3)t+c6e(1+i3)i]

Pull out like factors:
y664y=y(y564)
y(y564)=0
A product of several terms equals zero.
When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero.
We shall now solve each term =0 separately
In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product
Any solution of term =0 solves product =0 as well.
Solve: y=0
Solution is y=0
Solve: y564=0
Add 64 to both sides of the equation :
y5=64
y=5th root of (64)
The equation has one real solution
This solution is y=25th root of 2=2.2974
