3 A damped oscillator A damped oscillator obeys the following differential equation: dt2d2y?+cdtdy?+2y=0 where c is defined as a positive constant. a. The general solution to the differential equation is Aep1?t+Bep2?t where p1? and p2? are the roots of the quadratic equation p2+cp+2=0. Find the general solution to the differential equation if the damping constant c=2. b. How large would c have to be in order for the oscillator to be overdamped, meaning it would decay exponentially without oscillating?
