Answer

$y=c_{1}e^{\frac{2x}{3}}+c_{2}xe^{\frac{2x}{3}}$

Work Step by Step

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