Undetermined method of coefficients

in a non homogeneous equation, EQUATION will look like of the form below -

Y''+Y'*const.+Y = G(x) ................0

assume equation has solution Y1 and Y2...

however equation Y''+Y'*const.+Y = 0 ...............1
we know (1) has a solution c1*y1+c2*y2......
now putting Y1-Y2 in equation 1 will give us


(Y1-Y2)''+(Y1-Y2)'*const.+(Y1-Y2) = 0
Y1''+const.*Y1'+Y1 - Y2''-Y2'*const.-Y2 = 0
G(x)-G(x) =0 ..hence proved Y1-Y2 i solution to (1)
and we can safely say
Y1-Y2 = c1y1+c2y2 where Y1 and Y2 can be any solution to our non homogeneous equation (0)

we can r.h.s of equation (2) as complementary solution while Y2 as particular solution and get value of Y1 using initial / boundary values

Y''-5Y'+6Y = sin(4x) ...........................3 Y(0) = 10 Y'(0)= 15

complementary solution will be --- c1*exp(2x) + c2*exp(3x)
let us take particular solution to be --------c3 * sin4x + c4* cos4x
put particular solution in 3 ..we have
-16*c3 sin4x - 16c4cos4x -20c3cos4x + 20 c4sin4x+6c3sin4x + 6c4cos4x = sin4x
equating both the side..
-16c3+20c4+6c3= 1 and -16c4-20c3+6c4 = 0
20c4-10c3 = 1 and 20c3- 10c4 = 0
c3 = 1/30 c4 = 1/15

particular solution then is 1/30 sin4x+1/15 cos4x

Y1 = c1*exp(2x) + c2*exp(3x) + 1/30 sin4x + 1/15 cos4x ...
x= 0 Y =0
c1 + c2 + 1/15 = 0... 4 (i)
Y'(0) = 0
2c1+ 3c2+ 4/30 = 0 ..4(ii)
c1 = -1/15
and solution is
Y1 = -1/15*exp(2x)+1/30 sin4x+1/15 cos4x
