We have

y''+25y=0

The characteristic equation is,

\begin{align*} \lambda^{2} + 25 &= 0 \\ \lambda^{2} &= -25 \\ \lambda &= \sqrt{-25}\\ \text{ its roots:} \quad \lambda &= \pm 5i \end{align*}

where we can see that we have a case of a complex conjugate, where

\begin{gather*} a + bi = 0 \\ 0 \pm 5i = 0 \\ a = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad b= 5 \end{gather*}

which means that the general solution of this Second-Order Linear ODE, would be of the form

\mathbf{y=e^{-ax}\left(C_{1}\cos b x + C_{2}\sin b x \right)}

\text{where} \quad \mathbf{a} = 0 \quad \text{and} \quad \mathbf{b}= 5

Therefore,

\begin{align*} y &= e^{0} \left( C_{1}\cos 5x + C_{2}\sin 5x\right)\\\\ &= C_{1}\cos 5x + C_{2}\sin 5x \end{align*}

and

\begin{align*} y' &= -5 C_{1} \sin 5x + 5C_{2}\cos 5x \end{align*}
