Answer

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

Work Step by Step

$y'=2y''$ $2y''-y'=0$ Use the auxiliary equation $2r^{2}-r=0$ $r(2r-1)=0$ $r=0$ $2r-1=0$ $r=\frac{1}{2}$ $r_{1}=0$ $r_{2}=\frac{1}{2}$ Formula 8, $y=c_{1}e^{r_{1}x}+c_{2}e^{r_{2}x}$ $y=c_{1}e^{0}+c_{2}e^{\frac{x}{2}}$ $y=c_{1}+c_{2}e^{\frac{x}{2}}$
