Answer

$y=c_{1}cos4x+c_{2}sin4x$

Work Step by Step

$y'' + 16y=0$ Auxiliary equation is $r^{2}+16=0$ $r^{2}=-16$ $r=+\sqrt(-16)$ or $-\sqrt (-16)$ $r= +4\times \sqrt (-1)$ or $-4 \times \sqrt (-1)$ $r= +4i$ or $-4i$ $r_{1}= 0 + i4$ $r_{2}= 0- i4$ $α=0$, $β=4$ $y=e^{αx}(c_{1}cosβx+c_{2}sinβx)$ $y=c_{1}cos4x+c_{2}sin4x$
