Given:
y +5y6y=0
To find roots of this differential equation, Let m be the root of this equation that is,
m2+5m6=0
Simplifying for m,
m2+5m6=0
m2m+6m6=0
m(m1)+6(m1)=0
(m+6)(m1)=0
m=6 or m=1
So the roots are,
m1=6, m2=1
Since, the general solution of second order linear differential equation is,
y=C1em1x+C2em2x
Where m1 and m2 are real and distinct roots of second order linear differential equation and C1C2 are constant.
So now,
The general solution of given differential equation is,
y=C1e6x+C2e(1)x
y=C1e6x+C2ex
Answer: The final answer is given below,
y=C1e6x+C2ex
