Step 1
We are given a nonhomogeneous second-order differential equation. Similar to the method of solving by
undetermined coefficients, we first find the complementary function y for the associated homogeneous equation.
This time, the particular solution y, is based on Wronskian determinants and the general solution is y = y + yp.
First, we must find the roots of the auxiliary equation for y" + 3y' + 2y = 0.
m² +3m + 2 = 0
Solving for m, the roots of the auxiliary equation are as follows.
