Given: $y''+y'-6y=18e^{5x}$ Substitute: $y''(x)+y'(x)-6y(x)\\ =25A_0e^{5x}+5A_0e^{5x}-6A_0e^{5x}\\ =24A_0e^{5x}=18A_0e^{5x}$ Then $A_0=\frac{18}{24}=\frac{3}{4}$ Hence, $y_p(x)=\frac{3}{4}e^{5x}$ Find the solution. Substitute: $r^2e^{rx}+re^{rx}-6e^{rx}$ Put: $r^2e^{rx}+re^{rx}-6e^{rx}=0\\ e^{rx}(r^2+r-6)=0 \\$ Since $e^{rx} \ne0 \rightarrow r^2+r-6=0\\ \rightarrow (r+3)(r-2)=0\\ \rightarrow r=3,r=2$ We found $y_1(x)=C_1e^{-3x}\\ y_2(x)=C_2e^{2x}\\ $ The solutions to the given problem are: $y=C_1e^{-3x}+C_2e^{2x}+\frac{3}{4}e^{5x}$
