Work Step by Step

$y''+4y'+4y=169\sin 3x$ The complementary function is $y_c(x)=c_1xe^{-2x}+c_2e^{-2x}$ We consider the complex differential equation $z''+4z'+4z=169e^{3ix}$ An appropriate complex-valued trial solution for this differential equation is: $z_p(x)=A_0e^{3ix}$ where $A_0$ is a complex constant. so that $z _p$ is a solution if and only if $-5A_0e^{3ix}+12iA_0e^{3ix}=169A_0e^{3ix}\\ A_0=\frac{169}{12i-5}=-5+12i$ A particular solution is: $y_p(x)=Re_{\{z_p\}}=-12\cos 3x -5\sin 3x$ so that the general solution is $y(x)=c_1xe^{-2x}+c_2e^{-2x}-12\cos 3x -5\sin 3x$
