y''-10y'+25y=0 y(0)=2 y'(0)=-1

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

y''-10y'+25y=0 first find the auxiliary equation by setting y'=m, y''=m^2

ok, I did --> c1e^5x + c2e^5x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

But now I don't know what I need to make now :(

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

in the case of repeated roots m=5,5, it's \[y=(c_1+c_2x)e^{5x}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hummm OK, and after it ?

OpenStudy (unklerhaukus):

ok so now you have the general form , \[y(x)=(c_1+c_2x)e^{5x}\] use the initial values to find the constants \[y(0)=(c_1+c_2(0))e^{5(0)}=2\] simplify to find c_1
