Work Step by Step

We are given $y''-y=4e^{x}$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $r^2-1=0$ Factor and solve for the roots. $(r+1)(r-1)=0$ Roots are: $r_1=1$, as a multiplicity of 1 and $r_2=-1$, as a multiplicity of 1 The general solution is $y(x)=c_1e^{x}+c_2e^{-x}$ The trial solution for $y_p=A_0e^{x}+Be^{-x}$ can be computed as by plugging back into the given differential equation. Then we will have $A_0=2x\\ B_0=-e^{2x}$ Hence, $y(x)=c_1e^{x}+c_2e^{-x}+2xe^x-e^{x}$
