Homework Statement
Given
X'' + iG^2 X + w^2 X = 0
G^2 = h/m
w^2= k/m
What would be a good "educated guess" to solve that differential equation?
My oscillations and waves teacher asked this on a test and since I didn't see anything depending on the speed of the object X assumed it was a really weird kind of Simple Harmonic Motion.
We were all wrong x.x
I actually don't know if to ask this here or in the math forums

The Attempt at a Solution
Ansatz= Acos(ϑt + ϒ)[/B][/B]
It was wrong, i tried to factor iG^2 and w^2 into one big "harmonic" frequency and solve like an SHM
