I don’t quite understand Q12 though... :(

Substitute z:C→C and z(t)=Aei(αt+β)+γ ∴dz2d2z=−α2Aei(αt+β) Putting this in the equation −aα2Aei(αt+β)+cAei(αt+β)+cγ=−d ⇒Aei(αt+β)(−aα2+c)=−(d+cγ) Because this must be true for all t∈R∴−(d+cγ)=0 ⇒γ=c−d ⇒Aei(αt+β)(−aα2+c)=0 Now either A=0 or −aα2+c=0
Because z is a non zero function. ∴A=0 ⇒−aα2+c=0 ⇒α=ac
Now let x(t)= real part of z(t) ⇒x(t)=Acos(αt+β)+γ

I shall make a note with all the solutions :)
You may post your answers without the solutions below this comment. I will mark it.
