Giovanni Norris · Answer 1

y = sin (2t) y = cos (2t)

Step-by-step explanation:

In the case of each of the answers listed above, the second derivative is equal to - 4 times the function, as required by the differential equation.

For y = 2/3t^3, the second derivative is 4t, not - 4y.

For y = e^ (2t), the second derivative is 4y, not - 4y.

The graph shows the sum of the second derivative and 4y is zero for the answers indicated above, and not zero for the other two proposed answers.
