Question 1

What form does the general solution take for repeated roots?

y(x) = C_1 e^{rx}
y(x) = (C_1 + C_2 x)e^{rx}
y(x) = C_1 e^{r_1 x} + C_2 e^{r_2 x}

💡 Hint: Think about the role of x in the solution.

Question 2

Is the discriminant zero when the roots are complex?

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the conditions for different types of roots.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given the differential equation y'' - 6y' + 9y = 0, analyze how varying initial conditions of y(0) = 5 and y'(0) = 0 affect the constants and the resultant function.

💡 Hint: Apply the initial conditions directly for each constant.

Challenge 2 Hard

Discuss in detail how repeated roots could relate to real-world scenarios, for instance, in the context of earthquake-resistant structures.

💡 Hint: Consider how structures respond to forces over time with repeated root solutions.
