Homework Statement


The equation of motion of a particle is given by the differential equation ##\frac{d^2x}{dt^2} = -kx##, where ##x## is the displacement of the particle from the origin at time ##t##, and ##k## is a positive constant.

1. Show that ##x = A\cos{(kt)}+B\sin{(kt)}##, where ##A## and ##B## are constants, is a solution of the equation of motion.
2. The particle was initially at the origin and moving with velocity ##2k##. Find the constants ##A## and ##B##.

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


I know for 1. just show LHS = RHS which I have done but a little lost on 2.
Please help!

That means ##x(0)=0## and ##x'(0) = 2k##. With these two equations, you are supposed to express ##A## and ##B## in terms of the known quantities.
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
