Assume a solution will be proportional to t for some constant .

Substitute xHtL t into the differential equation:

2 t and

t :

1. 2 t + 7. + 12.5 t 0

Factor out t :

I1. 2 + 7. + 12.5M t 0

Since t 0 for any finite , the zeros must come from the polynomial:
1. 2 + 7. + 12.5 0

Factor:

1. I1. 2 + 7. + 12.5M 0

Solve for :
-3.5 - 0.5 or -3.5 + 0.5
The roots -3.5 0.5 give x1 HtL c1 H-3.5+0.5 L t , x2 HtL c2 H-3.5-0.5 L t as
solutions, where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants.
The general solution is the sum of the above solutions:
xHtL x1 HtL + x2 HtL
