Explanation Procedure used: Solution to a second order differential equation. Begin with considering the case of a second order differential equation a y ″ + b y ′ + c y = 0 , where a , b and c are constants. If we try to find a solution of the form y = e m x . Then substitution of y ′ = m e m x and y ″ = m 2 e m x into the equation a y ″ + b y ′ + c y = 0 becomes a m 2 e m x + b m e m x + c e m x = 0 or e m x ( a m 2 + b m + c ) = 0. Since, for a real x e m x ≠ 0 , it is apparent that the only way y = e m x satisfy the differential equation a y ″ + b y ′ + c y = 0 is when m is chosen as a root of the quadratic equation a m 2 + b m + c = 0 . Case I: Distinct real roots The general solution of a y ″ + b y ′ + c y = 0 on this interval ( − ∞ , ∞ ) is y = c 1 e m 1 x + c 2 e m 2 x . Case II: Repeated real roots The general solution is y = c 1 e m 1 x + c 2 x e m 1 x . Case III: Conjugate Complex Roots If m 1 and m 2 and are complex, then m 1 = α + i β and m 2 = α − i β , where α and β > 0 are real and i 2 = − 1 . The general solution is y = e a x ( c 1 cos β x + c 2 sin β x ) . Calculation: Consider the given differential equation y ″ + y = 0 . Consider y = e m x as the solution of the differential equation y ″ + y = 0 . Substitute y = e m x , y ″ = m 2 e m x into y ″ + y = 0 to obtain the auxiliary equation. m 2 e m x + e m x = 0 e m x ( m 2 + 1 ) = 0 For real x, e m x ≠ 0 . Therefore, m 2 + 4 = 0 . Here, a = 1 , b = 0 and c = 1 . Use m = − ( b ) ± b 2 − 4 a c 2 ( a ) to determine the roots of auxiliary equation. m 1 = − ( b ) + b 2 − 4 a c 2 ( a ) = − ( 0 ) + ( − 4 ) 2 ( 1 ) = 0 + i ⋅ 2 2 = 0 + i The other root is, m 2 = − ( b ) − b 2 − 4 a c 2 ( a ) = − ( 0 ) − ( − 4 ) 2 ( 1 ) = 0 − i ⋅ 2 2 = 0 − i Hence, the roots of the auxiliary equation are ( 0 + i , 0 − i )
