Inverse differential operators

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!
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
