Differential Equations - Complex Roots
tutorial.math.lamar.edu › Classes › DEJun 03, 2018 · In this section we discuss the solution to homogeneous, linear, second order differential equations, ay'' + by' + c = 0, in which the roots of the characteristic polynomial, ar^2 + br + c = 0, are complex roots. We will also derive from the complex roots the standard solution that is typically used in this case that will not involve complex numbers.
