Answer

$y(x)=C_1e^{-3x}+C_2xe^{-3x}+C_3x^2e^{-2x}+C_4e^{-2x}\cos 3x+C_5e^{-2x}\sin 3x$

Work Step by Step

Given $(D+3)^3(D^2-4D+13)y=0$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $(r+3)^3(r^2-4r+13)=0$ Roots are: $r_1=-3$, as a multiplicity of 3 and $r_2=-2 \pm 3i$ as a multiplicity of 2. This implies that there are two independent solutions to the differential equation $y_1(x)=e^{-3x}$ $y_2=xe^{-3x}$ and $y_3(x)=x^2e^{-3x}\\ y_4(x)=e^{-2x}\cos 3x\\ y_5(x)=e^{-2x}\sin 3x$ Therefore, the general equation is equal to $y(x)=C_1e^{-3x}+C_2xe^{-3x}+C_3x^2e^{-3x}+C_4e^{-2x}\cos 3x+C_5e^{-2x}\sin 3x$
