Answer

$y=e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}[1+\frac{2x}{3}]$

Work Step by Step

$9y''+12y'+4y=0$ Use auxiliary equation $9r^{2}+12r+4=0$ $r=\frac{-12±\sqrt ((12)^{2}-4(9)(4))}{2(9)}$ $r=\frac{-12±\sqrt (144-144)}{18}$ $r=-\frac{2}{3}$ Formula 10 $y=c_{1}e^{rx}+c_{2}xe^{rx}$ $y=c_{1}e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}+c_{2}xe^{\frac{-2x}{3}}$ Given: $y(0)=1$ $y(0)=c_{1}e^{0}+c_{2}\times (0)e^{0}$ $1=c_{1}$ Given: $y'(0)=0$ $y'=-\frac{2}{3}c_{1}e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}+c_{2}[e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}-\frac{2x}{3}e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}]$ $y'(0)=-\frac{2}{3}c_{1}e^{0}+c_{2}[e^{0}-\frac{0}{3}e^{0}]$ Substitute $0=-\frac{2}{3}(1)+c_{2}$ $c_{2}=\frac{2}{3}$ $y=e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}+\frac{2x}{3}e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}$ $y=e^{\frac{-2x}{3}}[1+\frac{2x}{3}]$
