General solution of 2nd order Linear Homogenous DE is a linear combination of 2 linearly independent functions (which are solutions).
Recall from matrix algebra that Ax = b is a homogeneous equation iff b = 0. Suppose A has 2 free variables. Then the general solution to the homogenous matrix equation Ax = 0 will be of the form x =c1v1 + c2v2.
