Consider the given:
y6y+25y=0A second order linear, homogeneous ODE has the form of
ay+by+cy=0,
For an equation ay+by+cy=0, assume a solution of the form eλt,
Rewrite the equation with y=eλt,
(eλt)6(eλt)+25eλt=0
d2dt2(eλt)ddt(6(eλt))+25eλt=0
λ2eλt6λeλt+25eλt=0
(λ26λ+25)eλt=0
λ=3+4i, λ=34i
For two complex roots λ1qλ2, where λ1=a+ib, λ2=aib
The general solution takes the form:
y=eat(c1cos(bt)+c2sin(bt))
y=e3t(c1cos(4t)+c2sin(4t))
