2nd Order Ordinary Differential Equations with Fixed Constants

Complex Roots of Characteristic Equation

By Autar Kaw

Learn how you can find the exact solution of a 2nd order differential equation (with fixed constants) by using the classical solution technique (homogeneous and particular parts).

This video gives you an example of finding the exact solution of a second order differential equation with fixed constants by using the classical solution technique.  The roots of the characteristic equation are complex.
