SUMMARY

The particular integral for the differential equation y'' + y' + y = xe^{2x} can be determined by using the method of undetermined coefficients. The appropriate choice for the particular solution is y = (A + Bx)e^{2x}, where A and B are constants to be determined. This approach leverages the linearity of the differential operator and the properties of exponential functions. For cases involving terms like x^2e^{2x}, the solution extends to y = (A + Bx + Cx^2)e^{2x}.

When finding the particular integral, I understand that for:

y''+y'+y=e^{2x}, One would choose y=Ae^{2x}
y''+y'+y=x, One would choose y=Ax+B

But what am I supposed to choose if I have: y''+y'+y=xe^{2x}?

Well, you know that in case of:

Dy = exp(p x)

where D is a linear differential operator,

you would choose y = A exp(px)

You also know that a solution of:

Dy = f(x) + g(x)

can be obtained by solving

Dy = f(x)

and

Dy =g(x)

separately and adding up the solutions. Linearitity of D implies that this will work.

Then, in case of:

Dy = x exp(px)

you could simply consider the factor x to be the derivative w.r.t. p. So, if you simply solve:

Dy = exp(px)

by putting y = A(p)exp(px), then the linearity of D implies that the solution of

Dy = [exp[(p+epsilon)x] - exp(px)]/epsilon

is given by

[A(p+epsilon)exp[(p+epsilon)x] - A(p)exp(px)]/epsilon

So, taking the derivative of A(p)exp(px) w.r.t. p will do. By Leibnitz's rule, you see that this amounts to putting

y = (A + B x)exp(px)
 
(A + Bx) e ^{2x} [/tex]<br /> <br /> for x^{2} e^{2x}[/tex] use (A + Bx +Cx^{2})e^{2x}&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; and so on
