Work Step by Step

We can notice that: $F(x)=y''+6y'+9y=4e^{-3x}$ Obtain: $(D^2+6D+9)y=4e^{-3x}$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $(r+3)^2=0$ Roots are: $r_1=-3$, as a multiplicity of 2. Therefore, the general solution for the given differential equation is: $y(x)=c_1e^{-3x}+c_2xe^{-3x}$ We can see that $(D+3)$ is the annihilator of $G(x)=4e^{-3x}$ Multiply $(D+3)$ to both sides of the given equation we get $(D+3)^3=0$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $(r+3)^3=0$ Roots are: $r_1=-3$, as a multiplicity of 3. The general solution to $(D+3)^3=0$ is $y(x)=c_1e^{-3x}+c_2xe^{-3x}+c_3x^2e^{-3x}$ The trial solution to initial solution is $y_p=c_3x^2e^{-3x}$. We obtain the same trial solution with the use of annihilators.
