The differential equation is y4y+4y=0
Solve the second order differential equation to find the roots.
y4y+4y=0
m24m+4=0
m22m2m+4
m(m2)2(m2)=0
(m2)(m2)=0
m1,2=2,2
The roots of the equation are real and different.
The general solution for real and different root is y=C1em1x+C2em2x
Substitute the given value in the general equation y=C1em1x+C2em2x to find the general solution.
y=C1e2x+C2e2x
So the general solution is y=C1e2x+C2e2x
