1. Solve the initial value problem y + 6y + 9y = 0, y (0) = 2, y (0) = 1 (1)

Solution The characteristic polynomial of (1). r2 + 6r + 9 = (r + 3)2 = 0 r = 3 is a double root. Therefore, y (t) = Ae3t + Bte3t Use the initial conditions to nd the constants A and B . y (0) = 2 = A y (0) = 1 = 6 + B Therefore, A = 2 and B = 7. The nal solution is, y (t) = 2e3t + 7te3t 2. Solve the initial value problem y 6y + 25y = 0, y (0) = 3, y (0) = 1 (5) (4) (3) (2)

Solution The characteristic polynomial of (5). r2 6r + 25 = 0 6 64 r= 2 r = 3 4i Therefore, have that y (t) = Ae3t cos(4t) + Be3t sin(4t) Use the initial conditions to nd the constants A and B . y (0) = 3 = A y (0) = 1 = 9 + 4B 1 (10) (11) (12) (9) (6) (7) (8)

Therefore, A = 3 and B = 2. The nal solution is, y (t) = 3e3t cos(4t) 2e3t sin(4t) (13)
