Answer

$y_p(x)=(Ax+B)e^{x} \sin x +(Cx+D)e^{x} \cos x$

Work Step by Step

Consider $G(x)=e^{ax} A(x) \sin mx $ or $G(x)=e^{ax} A(x) \cos mx $ The trial solution for the method of undetermined coefficients can be calculated as: $y_p(x)=e^{ax} B(x) \sin mx +e^{ax} C(x) \cos mx$ Given: $y''-y'-2y=xe^x \cos x$ Here, we have $m=k=1$ . The degree of the polynomials $B(x) ; C(x)=1$ Thus, the trial solution for the method of undetermined coefficients is: $y_p(x)=(Ax+B)e^{x} \sin x +(Cx+D)e^{x} \cos x$
