1. Problem: Solve the differential equation $$y'' - 9y = 0$$ with initial conditions $$y(\ln 2) = 1$$ and $$y'(\ln 2) = 3$$. 2. The characteristic equation is $$r^2 - 9 = 0$$. 3. Solve for $$r$$: $$r^2 = 9 \Rightarrow r = \pm 3$$. 4. The general solution is $$y = C_1 e^{3x} + C_2 e^{-3x}$$. 5. Differentiate: $$y' = 3C_1 e^{3x} - 3C_2 e^{-3x}$$. 6. Apply initial conditions at $$x = \ln 2$$: $$y(\ln 2) = C_1 e^{3 \ln 2} + C_2 e^{-3 \ln 2} = 1$$ $$y'(\ln 2) = 3C_1 e^{3 \ln 2} - 3C_2 e^{-3 \ln 2} = 3$$. 7. Simplify exponentials: $$e^{3 \ln 2} = 2^3 = 8$$ and $$e^{-3 \ln 2} = 2^{-3} = \frac{1}{8}$$. 8. System: $$8C_1 + \frac{1}{8}C_2 = 1$$ $$24C_1 - \frac{3}{8}C_2 = 3$$. 9. Multiply first equation by 8: $$64C_1 + C_2 = 8$$. 10. Multiply second equation by 8: $$192C_1 - 3C_2 = 24$$. 11. Solve system: From first: $$C_2 = 8 - 64C_1$$. Substitute into second: $$192C_1 - 3(8 - 64C_1) = 24$$ $$192C_1 - 24 + 192C_1 = 24$$ $$384C_1 = 48$$ $$C_1 = \frac{48}{384} = \frac{1}{8}$$. 12. Then $$C_2 = 8 - 64 \times \frac{1}{8} = 8 - 8 = 0$$. 13. Final solution: $$y = \frac{1}{8} e^{3x}$$. --- 14. Problem: Solve $$4y'' + 12y' + 9y = 0$$ with $$y(0) = 0$$ and $$y'(0) = 1$$. 15.

General solution for repeated root: $$y = (C_1 + C_2 x) e^{-\frac{3}{2}x}$$. 18. Derivative: $$y' = C_2 e^{-\frac{3}{2}x} + (C_1 + C_2 x)(-\frac{3}{2}) e^{-\frac{3}{2}x} = e^{-\frac{3}{2}x} \left(C_2 - \frac{3}{2}C_1 - \frac{3}{2}C_2 x\right)$$. 19. Apply initial conditions at $$x=0$$: $$y(0) = C_1 = 0$$ $$y'(0) = C_2 - \frac{3}{2}C_1 = C_2 = 1$$. 20. Final solution: $$y = x e^{-\frac{3}{2}x}$$. --- 21.

Discriminant: $$\Delta = (-6)^2 - 4 \times 1 \times 10 = 36 - 40 = -4$$. 24. Roots: $$r = \frac{6 \pm \sqrt{-4}}{2} = 3 \pm i$$. 25. General solution: $$y = e^{3x} (C_1 \cos x + C_2 \sin x)$$. 26. Derivative: $$y' = e^{3x} \left(3C_1 \cos x + 3C_2 \sin x - C_1 \sin x + C_2 \cos x\right)$$. 27. Apply initial conditions at $$x=0$$: $$y(0) = C_1 = 7$$ $$y'(0) = 3C_1 + C_2 = 1$$ $$3 \times 7 + C_2 = 1 \Rightarrow C_2 = 1 - 21 = -20$$. 28.
