Answer

$y=e^{2x}(c_{1}cosx+c_{2}sinx)+\frac{e^{-x}}{10}$

Work Step by Step

$y''-4y'+5y=0$ Use auxiliary equation $r^{2}-4r+5=0$ $r=\frac{-(-4)±\sqrt ((-4)^{2}-4(1)(5))}{2(1)}$ $r=\frac{4±\sqrt (16-20)}{2}$ $r=\frac{4±\sqrt -4}{2}$ $r=2±i$ $α=2$ $β=1$ $y_{c}=e^{αx}(c_{1}cosβx+c_{2}sinβx)$ $y_{c}=e^{2x}(c_{1}cosx+c_{2}sinx)$ $y_{p}=Ae^{-x}$ $y_{p}'=-Ae^{-x}$ $y_{p}''=Ae^{x}$ Plug back into the original equation $(Ae^{-x})-4(-Ae^{-x})+5(Ae^{-x})=e^{-x}$ $(A+4A+5A)e^{-x}=e^{-x}$ $(10A)=1$ $A=\frac{1}{10}$ $y_{p}=\frac{e^{-x}}{10}$ $y=y_{c}+y_{p}$ $y=e^{2x}(c_{1}cosx+c_{2}sinx)+\frac{e^{-x}}{10}$
