$y=acosx+bsinx$ where a, b are arbitrary constants is a solution of the differential equation :
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+y=0$
$y=a\cos x+b\sin x$
$\frac{dy}{dx}=-a\sin x+b\cos x$
$\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-a\cos x-b\sin x$
so $\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=-y⇒\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+y=0$
