Ello ello!
I'm looking at an example problem my professor did which is very similar to the one that i am doing, the only difference is his problem is:
y''+y = sin(t)
mine is:
y''+9y = 6sin(3t);
THe problem says:
Find a particular solution to
y'' + 9 y = 6sin(3 t) .
y_{p} =
so here is what i did:

I basically copied what my professor did, but instead of equating sin(t) to 1, i equated it to 6.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? THanks!
Looking at it again should i have started out with the guess of:
y =A*t*sin(3t) + B*t*cos(3t) ?
