Ok I keep trying this problem and I can't see where I'm going wrong.
4y''-12y'+9y=0 with initial conditions y(1)=4, y'(1)=2
So I use the characteristic equation (2r-3)(2r-3)=0, and find my r to be 3/2
this follows that the solution will be y=c1e^(3/2)t + c2te^(3/2)t
so then i sub in my initial condition y(1) and find that c1e^(3/2)+c2e^(3/2)t=4
then I take the derivative and use it's initial condition to find that y'(1)=(3/2)c1e^(3/2)+(3/2)c2e^(3/2)+c2e^(3/2)
solving for c1 from c1e^(3/2)+c2e^(3/2)t=4 gives me c1=4-c2e^(3/2)t
Plugging c1 back into y' and solving for c2 I get that c2=-4/e^(3/2)
Then I plug my c2 into c1=4/e^(3/2)-c2 to get c1=4/e^(3/2)-(-4/e^(3/2))
So i get c1=8e^/(3/2) and c2=-4/e^(3/2)
Therefore my solution is 8e^/(3/2)*e^((3/2)t)-4/e^((3/2)t)*t*e^((3/2)t)
This answer is not coming out to be correct, I believe I am screwing up my constants but I am not sure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.
