#### Exercise 4.3.29
##### Problem Statement
Find a general solution to the following higher-order differential equations:
**(a)** \( y''' - 5y'' + 5y' + 11y = 0 \)
**(b)** \( y''' + y'' + 3y' - 5y = 0 \)
**(c)** \( y^{(iv)} + 10y'' + 9y = 0 \)
##### Solution
For each differential equation, the general solution can be found using methods such as the characteristic equation or other applicable techniques for higher-order linear homogeneous differential equations.
1. **Equation (a)**:
- Write the characteristic equation corresponding to the differential equation.
- Solve the characteristic equation for its roots.
- Depending on the nature of the roots (real and distinct, real and repeated, or complex), write the general solution as a combination of exponential, polynomial, or sinusoidal functions.
2. **Equation (b)**:
- Follow the same steps as for equation (a) to derive the general solution.
3. **Equation (c)**:
- Similarly, solve the corresponding characteristic equation and write the general solution.
**(a)** \( y(t) = \boxed{} \)
Graphs and diagrams explaining the characteristic equations and their solutions can be a helpful supplement for understanding the different types of roots and the corresponding general solutions. For example, a diagram illustrating the root types could clarify why certain terms (exponential, sinusoidal, polynomial) appear in the general solutions depending on whether the roots are real or complex.
### Summary
To master solving higher-order differential equations, practice transforming these equations into characteristic equations and solving for their roots. Each root's nature (real, repeated, or complex) dictates the form of the solution, helping build a comprehensive understanding of differential equations.
