Detailed Solution

Consider the equation m2+1=0,m=±i

Hence x=C1cos t+C2sin t (see theory)

Now x(0)=1C1=1 and x=C1sin t+C2cos t so

C2=0.Hence x=cos t is the required solution which is a 

periodic function.

Alternate Solution:

We have 2dxdtd2xdt2=2xdxdtdxdt2=x2+C

Since x(0)=0 and x(0)=1so C=1Hence dxdt=±1x2

 dx1x2=±t sin1 x=t+C1 or cos1 x=t+C2x=sin t+C1 or x=cos t+C2

When t=0,x=1so C1=π/2 and C2=0

Hence x=cos t.
