Trying to solve this IVP of the SHO  (second order linear costant-coefficient).

Everything works fine until I come to the solving even after using dsolve with initial conditions (even using the differential operator D in the initial conditions)  , the answer still contains _C1, an unknown constant.

The full worksheet is below.  The code for dsolve is:

sol3 := dsolve(subs(par1, {de1, D(x)*0 = 0, x(0) = 1}), x(t));

 

Hoping you can help with a solution.
