Options:
  • A \((A+B x) e^{5 x}\)
  • B \((\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{Bx}) \mathrm{e}^{-4 x}\)
  • C \(\left(\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{Bx}^2\right) \mathrm{e}^{4 \mathrm{x}}\)

The correct answer is: \((\mathrm{A}+\mathrm{Bx}) \mathrm{e}^{-4 x}\)
Hints: \(\frac{\mathrm{d}^2 \mathrm{y}}{\mathrm{dx}^2}+8 \frac{\mathrm{dy}}{\mathrm{dx}}+16 \mathrm{y}=0\)
auxilary equation \(\mathrm{m}^2+8 \mathrm{~m}+16=0 \Rightarrow \mathrm{m}=-4\)
Solution \(y=(a x+b) e^{-4 x}\)
