Answer

$y(x)=C_1\cos 2x+C_2\sin 2x+C_3\cos 3x+C_4\sin 3x$

Work Step by Step

Given $y^{(iv)}+13y''+36y=0$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $r^4+13r^2+36=0$ Factor and solve for the roots. $(r^2+4)(r^2+9)=0$ Roots are: $r_1=\pm 2i$, as a multiplicity of 2 and $r_2=\pm 3i$ as a multiplicity of 2. This implies that there are two independent solutions to the differential equation $y_1(x)=\sin 2x$ $y_2=\cos 2x$ and $y_3(x)=\sin 3x\\ y_4(x)=\cos 3x$ Therefore, the general equation is equal to $y(x)=C_1\cos 2x+C_2\sin 2x+C_3\cos 3x+C_4\sin 3x$
