5. Find general solution of the second order linear ordinary differential equation y^{\prime \prime}+4 y=0 (a) Using the usual method by finding the roots of the characteristic equation. Hint: Write the solution in terms of Sine and Cosine functions. (b) Using the infinite power series method. Show that you get the same solution as (a). Hint: Use the series expansion of Sine and Cosine functions, and the concept of arbitrariness of constants.
