d 2 y / d t 2 = 4 y
d 2 y / d t 2 + y = 0
this is homogeneous DE
the characteristic equation is:
m 2 + 1 = 0
m = ± i
the general solution is:
y = c 1 e i x + c 2 e i x
or
y = c 1 cos x + c 2 sin x

Find a solution to d 2 y / d t 2 = 4 y
y''-4y=0
m 2 4 = 0
m = ± 2
y = c 1 exp ( m 1 t ) + c 2 exp ( m 2 t )
y = c 1 exp ( 2 t ) + c 2 exp ( 2 t )
