  1. Consider two solutions x(t) = x1 (t) and x(t) = x2 (t) of the differential equation
    d²x(t)
    + x(t) = 0, t > 0,
    dx

    such that x2 =
    dx2(t)
    |t=0 = 1.
    dt

    1. 1
    2. –1
    3. 0
    4. π/2
Correct Option: A

Given Differential equation is

d²x(t)
+ x(t) = 0
dt²

Auxiliary equation is m² + 1 = 0
m = 0 ± i
Complementary y solution is
xc = c1 cost + c² sin t
Particular solution xp = 0
∴ General solution x = c1 cos t + c2 sin t
Let x1 (t) = cos t x2 (t) = sin t
learly x1 (0) = 1
dx1
= 0 and x2 (0) = 0,
dx2
= 1
