Question:
Find the general solution to the homogeneous second-order differential equation.
{eq}\displaystyle y''-4y'+13y=0 {/eq}
General Solution of the Second Order Differential Equation:
An equation of the form {eq}{P_0}{x^n}\dfrac{{{d^n}y}}{{d{x^n}}} + {P_1}{x^{n - 1}}\dfrac{{{d^{n - 1}}y}}{{d{x^{n - 1}}}} + ... + {P_n}y = X {/eq} is called homogeneous linear differential equation. Where {eq}{P_0} , {P_1} , ...,{P_n} {/eq} are constants and {eq}X {/eq} is a function of {eq}x {/eq} only. The general solution of the second order differential equation is the solution which has two independent arbitrary constants.
