$y''+2y'+y=50\sin 3x$ The complementary function is $y_c(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{-x}$ We consider the complex differential equation $z''+2z'+z=50e^{3xi}$ An appropriate complex-valued trial solution for this differential equation is: $z_p(x)=A_0e^{3xi}$ where $A_0$ is a complex constant. The derivatives of $z_p$ is $z''_p(x)=(3i)^2A_0e^{3xi}\\ z'_p(x)=(3i)A_0e^{3xi}$ so that $z _p$ is a solution if and only if $(3i)^2A_0e^{3xi}+2(3i)A_0e^{3xi}+A_0e^{3xi}=50e^{4xi}\\ -20A_0e^{4xi}=50e^{3xi}\\ A_0=\frac{50}{6i-8}$ A particular solution is: $y_p(x)=Re_{\{z_p\}}=-4\sin 3x -3\cos 3x$ so that the general solution is $y(x)=c_1e^{-x}+c_2e^{-x}-4\sin 3x -3\cos 3x$
