Hi haruspex, I was considering doing this, but I wanted to know why this form of the particular integral is not working. I did not wish to be blindly guessing particular integral forms or adding more x's without knowing why I was doing what I was doing! Why does the particular integral form...

Homework Statement Find the general solution of y^{(5)}-y(1)=x The Attempt at a Solution I found the complementary function by substitution of the solution form y=e^{kx} giving k=0,1,-1,i,-i, so y_{cf}=a_0+a_1e^x+a_2e^{-x}+a_3e^{ix}+a_4e^{-ix} Now for the particular integral, the general...

We conducted an experiment in which we found the variation in the resistance of a fairly pure silicon sample between temperatures of about 400K to 600K, and we found a value for the energy gap of silicon of our sample. We were comparing the resistance variation with the model...
