The Attempt at a Solution
My book has one paragraph on this that does not help me. I tried using an auxiliary equation and solving for lambda.
I get (m+√λ)^2 a real number with duplicity two. I don't know what to do with this or if this is even the right first step. The SINGLE paragraph on this doesn't explain anything (it's practically a side note)
I would appreciate some guidance. There are two problems like this on the take home quiz and we didn't go over it in class so I am very lost and confused.
Also I've been pounding my head over this with my directionless fury. Help subside my hate!
Thanks for your time everyone!
