Homework Statement
Find y as a function of t if 36y''-132y'+121y=0, y(0)=5, y'(0)=4
The Attempt at a Solution
36y''-132y'+121y=0
36r^2-132r+121=0
(6r-11)^2
So, general solution
y(x) = C1*e^(11x/6)+C2*x*e^(11x/6)
y'(x)=(11/6)*C1*e^(11x/6)+C2*e^(11x/6)*((6x-11)-(36/121))
y(0)= C1=5
y'(0)= (11/6)*5+(-36/121)*C2=4
(-36/121)*C2=(-31/6)
C2=(3751/216)
So,
y(x)=5e^((11/6)t)+(3751/216)t*e^((11/6)t)
This is for an online homework and it's wrong, but I can't figure out where I went wrong. Can someone help me out?
