Question
Show that $\text{y}=\text{A}\cos2\text{x}+\text{B}\sin2\text{x}$ is a solution of the differential equation $\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+4\text{y}=0$

Answer

We have,

$\text{y}=\text{A}\cos2\text{x}+\text{B}\sin2\text{x}\ ...(1)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (1) with respect to 3, we get

$\frac{\text{dy}}{\text{dx}}=-2\text{A}\sin2\text{x}-\text{B}\cos2\text{x}\ ...(2)$

Differentiating both sides of equation (2) with respect to 3, we get

$\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-4\text{A}\cos2\text{x}+4\text{B}\sin2\text{x}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-4(\text{A}\cos2\text{x}+4\text{B}\sin2\text{x})$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}=-4\text{y}$

$\Rightarrow\frac{\text{d}^2\text{y}}{\text{dx}^2}+4\text{y}=0$

Hence, the given function is the solution to the given differential equation.
