Given $y = Acos(kt) + Bsin(kt)$, where $A, B, k$ are constants, prove that $y^{(2)} + (k^2)y = 0$

$begingroup$


EDIT: There was a silly typo, $y^n$ is actually $y''$... sorry everyone!



In that case just finding $y''$ and substituting this and $y$ into the left side will yield the answer 0.



I have noted that $y^n$ refers to the nth derivative.



I found that the 1st, 5th, 9th, ..., $(4m+1)$th derivatives have a sign pattern of - and +, respectively, in front of each trig ratio.



That is, $y^n = -Ak^nsin kt + Bk^ncos kt$.



The 2nd, 6th, 10th, ..., $(4m+2)$th derivates have a sign pattern of - and -.



The 3rd, 7th, 11th, ... $(4m+3)$th derivates have a sign pattern of + and -.



Finally, the 4th, 8th, 12th, ..., $(4m+4)$th derivatives have a sign pattern of + and +.



I am not sure if this is relevant in breaking down the proof into cases...



Thank you in advance for any insight.

$$y^{''} =frac {d^2}{dt^2}y= frac {d}{dt}left({frac d{dt}y}right)= frac {d}{dt}(-Aksin(kt)+Bkcos(kt))=kfrac {d}{dt}(-Asin(kt)+Bcos(kt))=k^2(-Acos(kt)-Bsin(kt))=-k^2y$$

    We have $y=A cos(kt)+B sin(kt)$ where ${ A, B, k }$ are constants. We are required to prove that $y^{(2)}+(k^2)y=0$ where $y^{(2)}$ denotes the second derivative of $y$ with respect to $t$.



    $frac{dy}{dt}=-Ak sin(kt)+Bk cos(kt) implies frac{d^2y}{dt^2}=-Ak^2 cos(kt)+Bk^2 sin(kt) tag1$

                      3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both .
