Solution :- Given differential equation
[tex]y′′−16y=0[/tex]
So the characteristic equation will be
[tex]r^{2} -16=0
⇒r^{2} =16
⇒[tex]r_{1}=4 \\or \\ r_{2}=-4[/tex]
so, the required function will be
[tex]y=c_{1}e^{r_{1}t}+c_{1}e^{r_{2}t}[/tex]
⇒ [tex]y=c_{1}e^{4t}+c_{1}e^{-4t}[/tex] ia solution of the given differential equation
where [tex]c_{1} \\and \\c_{2}[/tex] are constants.
