In the example problem, what is the general solution for X'' + Lambda X = 0 when Lambda > 0?
X = A cos(t) + B sin(t)
X = A e^(Lambda t) + B e^(-Lambda t)
X = A cos(sqrt(Lambda) t) + B sin(sqrt(Lambda) t)
X = A t + B

What is the form of the general solution for X'' + Lambda X = 0 when Lambda < 0?
X = A t + B
X = A cos(sqrt(Lambda) t) + B sin(sqrt(Lambda) t)
X = A e^(Lambda t) + B e^(-Lambda t)
X = A cosh(sqrt(-Lambda) t) + B sinh(sqrt(-Lambda) t)

Why are there no negative eigenvalues in the example problem?
Because the hyperbolic cosine function is zero only when the input is zero
Because the hyperbolic cosine function is always positive
Because the hyperbolic sine function is zero only when the input is zero
Because the hyperbolic sine function is always positive
