Answer

$x=0.6 e^{-4t} \sin 4t$

Work Step by Step

Plug the given values in the given equation: $2\dfrac{d^2 x}{dt^2}+16\dfrac{dx}{dt}+64 x=0$ Write the auxiliary equation: $2r^2+16r+64=0$ This gives: $r= -4 \pm 4i$ We are given that $x'=2.4$ Here, $x= e^{-4t}(c_1 \cos 4t +c_2 \sin 4t)$ $x(0)= e^{0}(c_1 \cos 0 +c_2 \sin 0)$ This gives: $c_1=0$ and $x'(t) = -e^{-4t}(c_1 \cos 4t +c_2 \sin 4t)+e^{-4t}(-4c_1 \sin 4t +4c_2 \cos 4t)$ Thus, we have $x'(0) = -e^{0}((0) \cos 0 +c_2 \sin 0)+e^{0}(-4c_1 \sin 0 +4c_2 \cos 0)$ Then, $c_2=0.6$ Hence, $x(t)=e^{-4t}((0) \cos 4t +(0.6) \sin 4t)=0.6 e^{-4t} \sin 4t$
