Undetermined coefficients 2001-11-22
From Hoda:
The equation is:

y" - 2y' + y = t et + 4

We need to use The method of Undetermined coefficients. I have tried assuming that the solution is Atet+Bet+C, but all I get is C=4 and I tried (At2+Bt+C)et+D, but again I get 0=0 when I calculate the first and second derivatives, so i get no information on the constants. Any suggestions?
