I'm currently in 3'rd year mining engineering at a Canadian university, there is no actual "Petroleum Engineering" program here, it is done as a Mining degree with a petroleum option. I'm more interested in the petroleum side of the industry, but with the current situation concerning the oil...
Homework Statement
Write down the complementary solution y_c and the correct particular solution y_p in terms of its undetermined coefficients.
y^{'''}+y^{''}+3y^{'} -5y=x^2e^{x}+x^{2}e^{-x}cos(2x)+xe^{-x}sin(2x)
The Attempt at a Solution
I can easily find y_c but I don't understand...
When trying to solve a higher order differential equation, how can I factor it to find the general solution. A question like :y^{(4)}-4y^{(3)}+6y^{(2)}-4y^{(1)}+y=0.
So I can write this as:m^4-4m^3+6m^2-4y^1=0. How can I factor m? The prof mentioned something about Pascal's Triangle, but I'm...

I recently had a test question that gave a force acting on a bullet. The bullets mass is 0.016KG, and the force acting on the bullet is f=7000N-2.2*10^6N/s*t. The bullet is traveling 800 k/h when it leaves the gun
It asked to find the total linear impulse on the bullet, and then how much...
