For HW 5, notice the behavior of the solutions. Some of these solutions will model mechanical/electrical vibration problems (section 3.7)

Hint for problem 15: to use recommended substitution, note
y' = dy/dt = (dy/dx)(dx/dt). Use chain rule to calculate y''.

9/25 9y'' + 6y' +y = 0, y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 2, Wronskian.
