x1, x2, & x3 give the displacements of the atoms from their equilibrium positions at any moment in time. Constants B1, B2, & B3 are determined by the initial conditions. The angular frequencies w1 & w2 are determined by the masses m and M and also by the spring constant k of the hypothetical spring connecting the atoms.
