The auxiliary equation arising from the given differential equations is:
A.E.: ![]()
So
and ![]()
We have 2 distinct real roots, so we need to use the first solution from the table above (y = Aem1x + Bem2x), but we use i instead of y, and t instead of x.
So ![]()
We could have written this as:
![]()
or
since we have 2 constants of integration. We would be able to find these constants if we were given some initial conditions.
