I just need someone to verify that my work is correct.

Note that the general solution to $y'' - y = 0$ is $y_h = C_1e^t + C_2e^{-t}$

In the following, use the Method of Undetermined Coefficients to find a particular solution.
b) $y'' - y = 4sint + 2cost$

Solution:
$y_p = -cost - 2sint$
c)$y'' - y = e^t$

Solution:
$y_p = \frac{1}{2} te^t$

d) Give a particular solution to $y'' - y = t^2 + 4sint + 2cost + e^t$

Solution:
$ y_p = -t^2-2 -cost - 2sint + \frac{1}{2}te^t$

Yes, that's correct. (Yes)
 
Thread 'Direction Fields and Isoclines'
I sketched the isoclines for $$ m=-1,0,1,2 $$. Since both $$ \frac{dy}{dx} $$ and $$ D_{y} \frac{dy}{dx} $$ are continuous on the square region R defined by $$ -4\leq x \leq 4, -4 \leq y \leq 4 $$ the existence and uniqueness theorem guarantees that if we pick a point in the interior that lies on an isocline there will be a unique differentiable function (solution) passing through that point. I understand that a solution exists but I unsure how to actually sketch it. For example, consider a...
