SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on solving homework problems related to inverse differential operators. The user presents several differential equations and their corresponding particular solutions, denoted as yp. Notably, the third equation, y'''+10y''+25y'=e^x, is highlighted as incorrect, with the proposed solution yp=36 being called into question. The user seeks verification of their solutions and emphasizes the importance of substituting yp back into the original equations to confirm accuracy.

I need someone to check some homework problems that I've done so far regarding inverse differential operators.

1) 9y"-4y=sinx
yp=-1/13 sinx

2) y"-4y'-12y=x-6
yp=-1/12(x-6)

3) y'''+10y""+25y'=e^x
yp=36

4) y""+8y'=4
yp=1/2 x

5) y"-9y=54
yp=-6

6) y"-y'-12y=e^(4x)
yp=1/7 xe^(4x)

7) y"+25y=6sinx
yp=1/4 sinx

sorry for not converting the equations into the latex form but I'm kinda of in a hurry. thanks

Substitute yp into each of your DE's and check that the lhs = the rhs.
 
3) y'''+10y""+25y'=e^x
yp=36

Surely you can see that this can't be right!
