We have (D2 + 5D + 6) y = 0
A.E.. m2 + 5m + 6 = 0
(m + 2) (m + 3) = 0
⇒ m = – 2, – 3
Therefore general solution is
x = x (t) = C1e–2t + C2e–3t ...(1)
This is the general solution of the given equation
Now, consider, x (0) = 0
Eqn. (1), becomes x (0) = C1(1) + C2(1)
i.e., C1 + C2 = 0 ...(2)
Also we have from Eqn. (1),
