The auxillary equation is $\\simplify[std]{lambda^2+{2*a}lambda+{a^2+b^2}}=0$.
\nOn solving this equation we get $\\lambda=\\simplify[std]{{-a}+{b}i}$ and $\\lambda=\\simplify[std]{{-a}-{b}i}$.
\nHence the general solution is:
\\[y = \\simplify[std]{e^({-a}x)(A*sin({b}x)+B*cos({b}x))}\\]
Note that
\\[y'(x)=\\simplify[std]{-{a}e^({-a}x)(A*sin({b}x)+B*cos({b}x))+e^({-a}x)({b}*A*cos({b}x)-{b}*B*sin({b}x))}\\]
Using the conditions $y(0)=1$ and $y'(0)=\\var{c}$ gives:
\\[\\begin{eqnarray*} B &=& 1\\\\ \\simplify[std]{{b}A+{-a}B}&=& \\var{c} \\end{eqnarray*} \\]
This gives $\\displaystyle{A = \\simplify[std]{{c+a}/{b}}}$.
Hence the solution is:
\n\\[y=\\simplify[std]{exp({- a} * x) * (cos({b} * x) + ({c+a} / {b}) * sin({b} * x))}\\]

Corrected mistake in solution.
Solve: $\\displaystyle \\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+2a\\frac{dy}{dx}+(a^2+b^2)y=0,\\;y(0)=1$ and $y'(0)=c$.
