Given: $y'''+2y''-y'-2y=4e^{2x}$ Substitute: $y'''(x)+2y''(x)-y'(x)-2y(x)\\ =8A_0e^{2x}+8A_0e^{2x}-2A_0e^{2x}-2A_0e^{2x}\\= 12A_0e^{2x}\\ =4e^{2x}$ Then $A_0=\frac{4}{12}=\frac{1}{3}$ Hence, $y_p(x)=\frac{1}{3}e^{2x}$ Find the solution. Substitute: $r^3e^{rx}+2r^2e^{rx}-re^{rx}-2e^{rx}$ Put: $r^3e^{rx}+2r^2e^{rx}-re^{rx}-2e^{rx}=0\\ e^{rx}(r^3+2r^2-r-2)=0 \\$ Since $e^{rx} \ne0 \rightarrow r^3+2r^2-r-2=0\\ \rightarrow (r+2)(r-1)(r+1)=0\\ \rightarrow r=-2,r=1,r=-1$ We found $y_1(x)=C_1e^{x}\\ y_2(x)=C_2e^{-x}\\ y_3(x)=C_3e^{-2x}$ The solutions to the given problem are: $y=C_1e^{x}+C_2e^{-x}+C_3e^{-2x}+\frac{1}{3}e^{2x}$
