If a second order differential equation has the general solution: Ψ(x) = Acoskx + Bsinkx, and Acoskx and Bsinkx are also solutions, then doesn't that make 3 total solutions? I thought that there could only be 2 solutions for second-order differential equations. Does the general solution not count because (in this case) it is just a sum? And if A or B is equal to zero, then wouldn't that leave only one solution?
