differential equation - initial value problem | Mathematics | Page 1

This is from the First Order Homogeneous Linear Equations section. The instructions are "Solve the initial value problem."

Online solvers seem to use Ci for the cosine integral which we have not covered.

My approach so far is to realize I am getting y=C*e^(something) and to realize y(0)=0 is only 0 when C=0.

Any insight would be great. Thanks!

Maybe you can make use of the taylor series of cosine and integrate that

I see what you are saying. In this course the Taylor Series is in the unit following this one.
