Find the general solution of the differential equation y'' + y = 0, y'(0) = 0, y'(π/2) = 0
Added by Amanda F.
Step 1
First, we need to find the characteristic equation of the differential equation: r^2 + 1 = 0 Solving for r, we get: r = ±i So the general solution of the homogeneous differential equation is: y(x) = c1*cos(x) + c2*sin(x) where c1 and c2 are constants to be Show more…
