1a.
The equation is:
(1.1)
We "guess" a solution in the form:
(1.2)
We substitute this back in the equation:
(1.3)
Thus the solution to (1.1) is:
(1.4)
Where C is a constant to be determined from initial conditions.
1b.
The equation is:
(1.5)
We "guess" a solution in the form:
(1.6)
We substitute this back in the equation:
(1.7)
We have a single pure complex root with multiplicity of two Thus the solution to (1.5) is a linear combination
(1.8)
From initial conditions:
Thus:
(1.9)
2.
The equation is:
(1.10)
Note that we can write the left hand side as:
(1.11)
Thus, the equation is:
(1.12)
Integrating both ...
