My math is a little rusty - so please bear with me if this is a stupid question.
I know how to solve both homogenous and non-homogenous DEs
However, I am not sure where a DE with a constant falls & how to solve it.
For eg.
y'' + 2y' + c = 0
(c is a constant).
You cannot convert this into an algebraic equation in r like you do for regular homogenous DEs. So what's the method for solving this?
If this is a different category of DEs (i.e. neither homo nor non-homo), then even giving me the name of this type of DE is good enough - I can google and find the method.
An example of this type of DE is a bar loaded with a uniformly distributed load of f.
The DE is
AEu'' + f = 0
u -> deflection.
f is a constant.
