Homework Statement
i'm trying to find two constants in the same equation. its an initial value problem
there's a two parameter family x=c1cost+c2sint with initial conditions x''+x=0, x(pi/6)=1/2, and x'(pi/6)=0
so I'm trying to find c1, and i equate the problem to 1/2 and subsitute the t's for pi/6, so it looks like
1/2=c1cos(pi/6)+c2sin(pi/6)
which of course equals sqrt(3)c1/2 + c2/2
but how do i get the values of c1 and c2? I've tried everything and i need them to find a solution
