Question: Consider the differential equation for the function y ( t ) y ( t ) , y + 5 y + 4 y = 0

Consider the differential equation for the function y(t)y(t),
y+5y+4y=0y+5y+4y=0
Where does the characteristic equation come from?
Choose One.From substituing y(t)= ln(rt) in the differential equation.From substituing y(t)= e^(rt) in the differential equation.From substituing y(t)= sin(rt) in the differential equation.From substituing y(t)= t^r in the differential equation.From substituing y(t)= cos(rt) in the differential equation.From substituing y(t)= r in the differential equation.
What is the characteristic equation of the differential equation above?
A. r2=0r2=0
B. r2+5r+4=0r2+5r+4=0
C. r25r4=0r25r4=0
D. r2+5rt+4t2=0r2+5rt+4t2=0
E.(r+5)2+4=0(r+5)2+4=0
F. r25r+4=0r25r+4=0
