The general solution of second order homogeneous differential equation is

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the general solution of this second order homogeneous differential equation we are going to use this Theorem:

Given the differential equation , consider the quadratic polynomial , called the characteristic polynomial. Using the quadratic formula, this polynomial always has one or two roots, call them and . The general solution of the differential equation is:

(a) if the roots and are real numbers and .

(b) , if is real.

(c) , if the roots and are complex numbers and

Applying the above Theorem we have:

The characteristic polynomial is and we find the roots as follows:

The roots of characteristic polynomial are and

Therefore the general solution of second order homogeneous differential equation is
