A) We can let . This gives , and . Then
. This implies that , from the given DE. Since we don't want A = 0, then B = 1. (We can drop B = -1 without loss of generality.)
So . From the initial value x'(0) = 1, we get A = 1. Therefore .
B) The solution of this IVP follows along the same line as above, but this time we let. By using the differential equation we get B=2, and by using the initial condition, we get A = 1. Therefore .
