The differential equation is y4y+5y=0
Solve the second order differential equation to find the roots.
y4y+5y=0
m24m+5=0
m23mm+3
m1,2=(4)±(4)24(1)(5)2(1)
=4±42
=4±2i2
=2±i
The roots of the equation are complex where a=2 b=1
The general solution for complex root is y=eax[C1cos(bx)+C2sin(bx)]
Substitute the given value in the general equation y=eax[C1cos(bx)+C2sin(bx)] to find the general solution.
y=eax[C1cos(bx)+C2sin(bx)]
y=e2x[C1cos(1x)+C2sin(1x)]
y=e2x[C1cos(x)+C2sin(x)]
So the general solution is y=e2x[C1cos(x)+C2sin(x)]
