Solving 2nd order homogenous linear ODE with a squared coefficient
I am attempting to solve a differential equation of the form:
I have set up and solved the characteristic equation as:
which is satisfied when and when
There are two distinct roots () hence the general solution should be of the form
In this case:
Apparently, this solution is incorrect as in the answers it is given as:
I would like to know where I went wrong to give me the incorrect solution

My question is how do we get from the second summand on the RHS on line 1 to the second summand on the RHS of the equation on line 2? That is how does the equation come out?
Solution to this differential equation that does not diverge at .
By using the integrating factor , I solved it as an equation in full differentials and got the solution
However, the question I am solving asks for a solution that does not diverge at , which this solution clearly does because of the cotx. How can I get a solution that converges?
Verify that the function is a solution to the differential equation
is a particular solution to the differential equation:
My Attempt
I will verify this by differentiating the function with respect to t.
I'm having trouble solving the integral because it involves an error function. Could I get some pointers on how to evaluate this? Or is there a different way to verify that the function is a solution?
When you are dealing with any Calculus 2 homework, it is vital to have a look at the various questions and answers that will help you see whether you are correct in your approach to finding solutions. Even if you are dealing with analytical aspects of Calculus 2, it will be helpful as you are looking at provided equations and learn how the answers relate to original questions and problems specified.
Do not be afraid to take a look at the basic integration and related application if Calculus 2 does not sound clear or start with the Calculus 1 first.
