ODE, change of form and unsolvable unknown

25 Views Asked by At

So I have tried many methods including Laplace transform and differentiation but the p and q seems to be unsolvable, I would like to know how does the form change from the first equation, then substitude the Y = e^t to get the second equation. also my second question is why is how can i solve for p and q if i dont have any initial conditions?enter image description here
