The harmonic oscillator: x¨+ω2x=0\ddot x+\omega^2x=0

Let the Lagrangian of a system be L(x,x˙)=12mx˙2−12kx2L(x,\dot x)=\frac12m\dot x^2-\frac12kx^2, where m,km,k are positive constants. If ω=k/m\omega=\sqrt{k/m} and C1,C2C_1,C_2 denote arbitrary constants, then the solutions of Euler–Lagrange equations are:
