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 coskt satisfy the differential equation
yy
Enter your answers as a commaseparated list.
k
b
For those values of k verify that every member of the family of functions
y A sinkt B coskt
is also a solution.
We begin by calculating the following.
y A sinkt B coskt y Ak coskt Bk sinkt y
Note that the given differential equation
yy
is equivalent to
yy
Now, substituting the expressions for y and
y
above and simplifying, we have
LHS yy
A sinkt B coskt
Bk cosktA sinktB cosktk
k B coskt
since for all value of k found above,
k
