Solve the IVP:

L dI/dt + RI + q/c = E(t); q(0) = some initial value of q, and I(0) = some
initial value of I.

where L is the inductance in Henrys, R is the resistance in ohms, C is the
capacitiance in farads, E(t) is the EMF in volts, q(t) is the charge in
coulombs on the capacitor at time t, and I = dq/dt is the current in
amperes. Find the current at time t if the charge on the capacitor is
initally zero, L =10H, R = 20 ohms, C = (6260)^-1 F, and E(t) = 100V.
[HINT: Differentiate both sides of the original equation to obtain a
homogeneous linear second order diff eq for I(t). Then use the original
equation todetermine dI/dt at t=0]

Here's my work so far:

d/dt (10 dI/dt + 20 I + 6260 q )= d/dt (E(t))

10 I'' + 20 I' + 6260 I = 0

Auxiliary equation: 10 r^2 + 20 r + 6260 = 0

r = -1 +/- 500 i

a = -1; B = 500

I(t) = c1 e^(-t) cos(500t) + c2 e^(-t) sin(500t)
I'(t) = e^(-t) [ 500 c1 sin(500t) - c1 cos(500t) + 500 c2 i cos(500t) - c2 i
sin(500t)

q(0) = 0

So where do I go with this last bit from the problem statement? How do I
continue the problem?
Any help you can give will be most appreciated.

What's next? Find c1 and c2? You need some values,
like for example I(0) and I'(0).

q(0) = 0 does nothing because upon solving
I(t) = dq(t)/dt
for q(t), you've introducted another constant which is
determined by q(0) = 0, in terms of c1 and c2.

The formula for complex conjugate roots from the book:
for a diff eq ay'' + by' + cy = 0 with auxiliary eq ar^2 + br +c = 0 where r
has complex conjugate roots:
alpha +/- beta * i
two linearly independant solutions are:
e^(alpha*t) cos(beta * t) and e^(alpha*t) sin(beta*t)
then a general solution is:
y(t) = c1 e^(alpha*t) cos(beta * t) + c2 e^(alpha*t) sin(beta*t)
where c1 and c2 are arbitrary constants.

however I don't have alpha or beta characters on my keyboard. So I use a
and B since they are kind of similar.

as you go and again upon finish.

From problem statement
q(0) = some initial value of q,
and I(0) = some initial value of I.
there is inadequate information.

Yet from above you said q(0) = 0, tho that has no bearing on the solution
as explained above. The best you can do is to assume some initial values
for I(t) and I'(t), or some initial and final value of I(t).
Let's say I(0) and I'(0) are known. Thus use

I(t) = c1 e^-t cos(25t) + c2 e^-t sin(25t)
I'(t) = -I(t) + e^-t (-25c1 sin 25t + 25c2 cos 25t)

to find c1 and c2 in terms of I(0) and I'(0).
