Answer

False

Work Step by Step

To apply the variation-of-parameters technique for determining a particular solution to the nonhomogeneous vector differential equation $x′ = Ax +b$, it is necessary to determine solutions by solving the corresponding homogeneous linear system. Hence, the statement is not true.
