form equation takes at large value of time



Hi,

I have a question re. whether anything can be said about this
equation's behaviour at large values of time, purely by inspection.


The differential eqation is this:

y'' +Cy' + A*exp(-Bt)y = 0

where A, B, C are constants, y is say displacement and t is time.

My question is this:

At time t = infinity, is it correct to say that the system represented
by this equation can be described by:

y'' + Cy' = 0

Based on the physical fact that it means that the "spring" has one to
zero, I suspect the answer is yes, but would like to confirm.

thanks!

Paul
