Second-order, constant coefficients

ay″ + by′ + cy = 0 and the characteristic equation: oscillation, damping, growth.

Try y = e^{rx} and the equation becomes a quadratic in r, the characteristic equation. Real distinct roots give exponentials, a repeated root adds an x, complex roots give sines and cosines. y″ + y = 0 is the simple harmonic oscillator: every pendulum, spring and LC circuit.

Mga katanungan na tanong ng mga tao

What is a differential equation?

An equation whose unknown is a function, relating it to its own derivatives. "The rate of growth is proportional to the population" is y′ = ky, and solving it means finding y as a function of time.

Why does the solution have arbitrary constants?

Integrating loses information: many functions share the same derivative. An n-th order equation has n constants, fixed by n initial or boundary conditions.
