Answer

$y(x)=e^{-2x}cos(5x)+Ce^{-2x}sin(5x)$

Work Step by Step

$y''+4y'+29y=0$, $y(0)=1$ and $y(\pi)=-e^{-2\pi}$ Roots are complex numbers: $\alpha \pm i \beta$, thus: General solution: $y=e^{\alpha x}[c_1cos(\beta x)+c_2sin(\beta x)]$ Plug in the given values: $y(0)=1$ and $y(\pi)=-e^{-2\pi}$ Hence, $y(0)=1$ $y(\pi)=-e^{-2\pi}$ The solution of the boundary value problem is $y(x)=e^{-2x}cos(5x)+Ce^{-2x}sin(5x)$ where $C$ is an arbitrary constant.
