Question: For what values of k does the function y = cos ( kt ) satisfy the differential equation 4 9 y = 6 4 y

For what values of k does the function y = cos(kt) satisfy the differential equation
49y=64y?
(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 = A sin(kt)+ B cos(kt)
is also a solution.
We begin by calculating the following.
y = A sin(kt)+ B cos(kt) y= Ak cos(kt) Bk sin(kt) y=
Note that the given differential equation
49y=64y
is equivalent to
49y+64y =
.
Now, substituting the expressions for y and
y
above and simplifying, we have
LHS =49y+64y=49
+64(A sin(kt)+ B cos(kt))=49
49Bk2 cos(kt)+64A sin(kt)+64B cos(kt)=(6449k2)
+(6449k2) B cos(kt)=0
since for all value of k found above,
k2
