Linear Second Order ODE/y'' + k^2 y = 0

Theorem
The second order ODE:
 * $(1): \quad y'' + k^2 y = 0$

has the general solution:
 * $y = A \, \map \sin {k x + B}$

or can be expressed as:
 * $y = C_1 \sin k x + C_2 \cos k x$

Also presented as
This second order ODE can also be presented in the form:


 * $\dfrac {\d^2 y} {\d x^2} = -k^2 y$
