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}.
