Short Answer

Expert verified

y=c1e-17t+c2te-17t

Step by step solution

01

Write the auxiliary equation of the given differential equation

The given differential equation is49y''+14y'+y=0.

The auxiliary equation for the above equation49m2+14m+1=0.

02

Find the roots of the auxiliary equation  

Solve the auxiliary equation,

49m2+14m+1=049m2+7m+7m+1=07m7m+1+17m+1=07m+17m+1=0

The roots of the auxiliary equation arem1=-17&m2=-17.

Thus, the general solution of the given equation isy=c1e-17t+c2te-17t.
