Answer

$\text{The general solution satisfies the differential equation.}$ $\text{The particular solution is $y = 2\sin {3x} - \frac{1}{3}\cos {3x}$ .}$

Work Step by Step

$\text{Let us find the second derivative of the general solution:}$ \begin{align} & y = C_1 \sin {3x} + C_2 \cos {3x} \\ & y' = 3C_1 \cos {3x} - 3 C_2 \sin {3x} \\ & y'' = -9C_1 \sin {3x} - 9 C_2 \cos {3x} \end{align} $\text{Then, substitute $y''$ and y into the differential equation}$ \begin{align} & y''+9y=0 \\ -9C_1 \sin {3x} - 9 C_2 &\cos {3x} + 9C_1 \sin {3x} + 9C_2 \cos {3x} = 0 \\ &0 = 0 \end{align} $\text{Thus, the general solution satisfies the differential equation.}$ $\text{Now, we have to find the particular solution:}$ \begin{align} & y = 2 \ \ when \ \ x =\frac{\pi}{6} \\ & 2 = C_1 \sin {\frac{\pi}{2}} + C_2 \cos {\frac{\pi}{2}} \Rrightarrow C_1 = 2 \end{align} \begin{align} & y' = 1 \ \ when x =\frac{\pi}{6} \\ 1 = 3C_1 \cos {\frac{\pi}{2}}& - 3 C_2 \sin {\frac{\pi}{2}} = - 3C_2 \Rrightarrow C_2 = -\frac{1}{3} \end{align} $\text{Thus, the particular solution is}$ \begin{align} y = 2\sin {3x} - \frac{1}{3}\cos {3x} \end{align}
