(a) For what values of k does the function y=cos(kt) satisfy the differential equation 25y''=-81y?(Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.)
k=
(b) For those values of k, verify that every member of the family of functions y=Asin(kt) Bcos(kt) is also a solution. We begin by calculating the following.
y=Asin(kt) Bcos(kt),=>,y'=Akcos(kt)-Bksin(kt),=>y''=
Note that the given differential equation 25y''=-81y is equivalent to 25y''81y=
Now, substituting the expressions for y and y** above and simplifying, we have
since for all value of k found above, k2=
q,
