Homework Statement



http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee382/jon_jon_19/Eigen2.jpg

The second term should be De^( - √(5)t), I made a mistake when writing out the question.

The Attempt at a Solution



I worked it out to be

A = 0, B = -1/5, C = 3/10, D = -3/10

answer is 3.09

Is that correct? I have been through my calculations and can find no fault, I just want to make sure I have a good grasp on these questions, thank you.
