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 + Yp²

We have found that the roots of the auxiliary equation are m₁ = -1 and m₂ = -2. In the case that the auxiliary equation for
a second-order linear equation has two distinct, real roots, we know the complementary function is of the form
Yc=c₁₁x + c₂em 2x. Therefore, the complementary function is as follows.

Let y₁ = ex and y₂ = e be the two independent solutions which are terms of the complementary function. We will find
functions u₁(x) and u₂(x) such that yp = U₁Y₁+U₂2 is a particular solution. These new functions are found by calculating
multiple Wronskians. First, find the following Wronskian.
