The discussion centers on the method of variation of parameters for finding a particular solution to a differential equation, specifically targeting the solution of -2/3te^-t. Participants emphasize the importance of presenting mathematical work in text format rather than images to facilitate clearer feedback. The thread was ultimately closed, instructing the original poster to create a new thread with the problem and solution typed out for better assistance.

Can some find my mistake? The answer is just suplosed to be - 2/3te^-t[/B]
I second what Ray said. Although the image of your work that you posted is reasonably neat, many people post images that are blurry or messy or otherwise difficult to read. One of the main problems with work posted in images rather than as text here in the input pane, is that people responding can't insert a comment at the point where an error lies, but instead have to describe the location of the error.Ray Vickson said:You should type out the problem and your solution. Just posting images is strongly discouraged on this Forum.
