Short Answer

Find a general solution. y''+2y'+5y=0

The general solution of the given equation y''+2y'+5y=0 is y(t)=e-t(c1cos(2t)+c2sin(2t)).

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Complex conjugate roots.

If the auxiliary equation has complex conjugate roots α±iβ, then the general solution is given as:

y(t)=c1eαtcosβt+c2eαtsinβt.

Step 2: Finding roots of the auxiliary equation.

Given differential equation is y''+2y'+5y=0.

Then the auxiliary equation is r2+2r+5=0.

The roots of the auxiliary equation are:

role="math" localid="1654070409803" r=-2±22-4×1×52×1r=-2±4-202r=-2±-162r=-2±4i2r=-1±2i

Step 3: Final answer.

Therefore, the general solution is:

y(t)=e-1×t(c1cos(2t)+c2sin(2t))=e-t(c1cos(2t)+c2sin(2t))
