Question: ( a ) For what values of k does the function y = c o s ( k t ) satisfy the differential equation 4

(a) For what values of k does the function y=cos(kt) satisfy the differential equation 49y*=-9y?(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 49y**=-9y is equivalent to 49y**9y=
Now, substituting the expressions for y and y** above and simplifying, we have
USS =49y9y=49()9(Asin(kt) Bcos(kt))
=-49()49Bk2cos(kt)9Asin(kt)9Bcos(kt)
=(9-49k2)(-49k2)Bcos(kt)
=0
since for all value of k found above, k2=
( a ) For what values of k does the function y =
