Answer

$y(x)=c_1\cos x+c_2\sin x+3e^{x}$

Work Step by Step

Given: $y''+y=6e^{x}$ Solve the auxiliary equation for the differential equation. $r^2+1=0$ Factor and solve for the roots. Roots are: $r_1=i$, as a multiplicity of 1 and $r_2=-i$ as a multiplicity of 1 The general solution is $y(x)=c_1\cos x+c_2\sin x$ We have $F(x)=6e^{x}$ Obtain: $(D-1)(D^2+1)y_p(x)=6e^{x}$ Therefore, the general solution for $(D-1)(D^2+1)y_p(x)=0$ is: $y(x)=c_1\cos x+c_2\sin x+A_0e^{x}$ The trial solution can be computed as by plugging back into the given differential equation. $y_p(x)=A_0e^{x}$ So, we have: $(D-1)(D^2+1)y_p(x)=6e^{x}\\ (D-1)(D^2+1)(A_0e^x)=6e^x$ On comparing coefficients, we get: $A_0=3$ Therefore, the general solution for the given differential equation is: $y(x)=c_1\cos x+c_2\sin x+3e^{x}$
