Answer: hi your question is poorly written below is the correct question

answer :

a) y1 = Asint, y'1 = Acost , y"1 = -Asint

b) y2 = Bcost, y'2 = Bsint , y"2 = - Bcost

c) y = Asint + B cost satisfies the differential equation for any constant A and B

Explanation:

y" + y = 0

Proves

a) y1 = Asint, y'1 = Acost , y"1 = -Asint

b) y2 = Bcost, y'2 = Bsint , y"2 = - Bcost

c) y3 = y1 + y2 , y'3 = y'1 + y'2, y"3 = y"1 + y"2

∴ y"1 + y1 = -Asint + Asint

y"2 + y2 = -Bcost + Bcost

y"3 - y3 = y"1 + y"2 - ( y1 + y2 )

= y"1 - y1 + y"2 - y2

= -Asint - Asint + ( - Bcost - Bcost ) = 0

Hence we can conclude that y = Asint + B cost satisfies the equation for any constant A and B
