Two Methods. There are two main methods to solve these equations: Undetermined Coefficients (that we learn here) which only works when f(x) is a polynomial, exponential, sine, cosine or a linear combination of those.. …

razorjr.files.wordpress.com › 2010 › 051*, using unknown coefficients: y p(x) = Ax sin x + Bx cos x To determine the unknown coefficient, substitute the linear combination in the equation. We must compute the first and second derivative: Y p’ = A(sin x + x cos x) + B(cos x – x sin x) Y p’’ = A(-x sin x + 2 cos x) + B(-x cos x – 2sin x) Replace into the equation
