Short Answer

Find a general solution to the given differential equation.u''+11u=0

u=c1cos11t+c2sin11t

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Complex conjugate roots.

If the auxiliary equation has complex conjugate roots, then the general solution is given as: yt=c1eαtcosβt+c2eαtsinβt

Step 2: Write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation

The differential equation is,u''+11u=0

The auxiliary equation for the above equation,m2+11=0

Step 3: Find the roots of the auxiliary equation.

Solve the auxiliary equation,

m2+11=0m2=-11m=±i11

The roots of the auxiliary equation are, m1=i11,  &  m2=-i11.

The general solution of the given equation is u=c1cos11t+c2sin11t.
