Given that $x(t)=c_{1} \cos \omega t+c_{2} \sin \omega t$ is the general solution of $x^{\prime \prime}+\omega^{2} x=0$ on the interval $(-\infty, \infty),$ show that a solution satisfying the initial conditions $x(0)=x_{0}, x^{\prime}(0)=x_{1}$ is given by $x(t)=x_{0} \cos \omega t+\frac{x_{1}}{\omega} \sin \omega t$.

Show by the choice of appropriate values for $A$ and $B$ in equation (1.2) that equally valid solutions for $x$ are $$ \begin{aligned} &x=a \cos (\omega t+\phi) \\ &x=a \sin (\omega t-\phi) \\ &x=a \cos (\omega t-\phi) \end{aligned} $$ and check that these solutions satisfy the equation $\ddot{x}+\omega^{2} x=0$
