Nonhomogeneous Second Order Linear Equations

Let us go back to the nonhomogeneous second order linear equations

Recall that the general solution is given by

where is a particular solution of (NH) and is the general solution of the associated homogeneous equation

In the previous sections we discussed how to find . In this section we will discuss two major techniques giving :

• Method of undetermined coefficients
• Method of variation of parameters
