Edit: SOLVED!
**********************
Please help me find Yparticular for this ODE:

y''-3y'-10y=exp(x)
...
m^2-3*m-10=0 -> Yh = c1*exp(-5x)+c2*exp(2x)
Yp = ?

Thank you!

Aww you changed it to exp(x)
:devil:
 
sorry! I mistyped.. in case of exp(1), it was very easy! Yh=-exp(1)/10
exp(x) makes it really hard for me! I can't use Guessing mehtod or even Wronskian!
 
no!
sqrt(3^2-4(-10))=sqrt(49)=7

:eek:

true true :biggrin:


see what happens when you are a year out of college you forget basic stuff :frown:
 
Oops!
It was very easy! I got it.
Guessing Method:
Yp= k*exp(x) ---> Yp=-exp(x)/12
