Answer

$y=\frac{e^{4-2x}-e^{2x}}{e^{4}-1}$

Work Step by Step

$y''=4y$ Use auxiliary equation $r^{2}-4=0$ $r^{2}=4$ $r=±2$ $r_{1}=-2$ $r_{2}=2$ Formula 8 $y=c_{1}e^{r_{1}x}+c_{2}e^{r_{2}x}$ $y=c_{1}e^{-2x}+c_{2}e^{2x}$ $y(0)=1$ $1=c_{1}e^{-2(0)}+c_{2}e^{2(0)}$ $1=c_{1}+c_{2}$ $y(1)=0$ $0=c_{1}e^{-2(1)}+c_{2}e^{2(1)}$ $0=c_{1}+c_{2}e^{4}$ $1=c_{1}+c_{2}$ $0=c_{1}+c_{2}e^{4}$ Solve system of equations $1=c_{2}(1-e^{4})$ $c_{2}=\frac{1}{1-e^{4}}$ $c_{1}=1-\frac{1}{1-e^{4}}=\frac{-e^{4}}{1-e^{4}}=\frac{e^{4}}{e^{4}-1}$ $y=\frac{e^{4} \times e^{-2x}-e^{2x}}{e^{4}-1}$ $y=\frac{e^{4-2x}-e^{2x}}{e^{4}-1}$
