Short Answer

Use the annihilator method to show that ifa00in equation (4) and fx has the form (17) f(x)=bmxm+bm-1xm-1++b1x+b0, then yp(x)=Bmrxm+Bm-1xm-1++B1x+B0 is the form of a particular solution to equation (4).

yp=Bmxm++B1x+B0is the form of particular solution.

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Definition

A linear differential operator Ais said to annihilate a function fif A[f](x)=0--(2)for all x. That is,A annihilates f if fis a solution to the homogeneous linear differential equation (2) on (-,).

Step 2: Check for particular solution

It is given that f(x)=bmxm++b1x+b0 and a00.

Then the ygis given by:

any(n)+..+a1y'+a0y=f

So yp=Bmxm++B1x+B0

(Then ypyg)

Therefore Homogeneous auxiliary equation is not particular solution for f's, annihilator.
