Missed this problem on an exam and im not sure how to get to the answer if it comes up again at some point.
Solution
Given that
y = ( c1 + c2x)cos 2x + ( c3 + c4x)sin 2x
We know that
For a linear differential equation with constant coefficients , if two pairs of roots(±i ,±i ) are equal and imaginary then the solution is y = ex [ ( c1 + c2x)cos x + ( c3 + c4x)sin x ]
Hence ,
The given function is a general solution to the linear differential equation with constant coefficients
