Short Answer

use the method of undetermined coefficients to determine the form of a particular solution for the given equation.
$y''' + y'' - 2 y = x e^{x} + 1$

$y_{p} (x) = - \frac{4}{25} x e^{x} + \frac{1}{10} x^{2} e^{x} - \frac{1}{2}$

Step 1: Find the corresponding auxiliaryequation

Theauxiliary equationof corresponding homogeneous equation

$r^{3} + r^{2} - 2 = (r - 1) (r^{2} + 2 r + 2) = 0$

The solutions of the auxiliary equation are

$r = - 1 + i, r = - 1 - i, r = 1$

Step 2: Find particular solution

Let the particular solution be

$y_{p} (x) = a x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x} + c$

Then

$y_{p}^{'} (x) = a e^{x} + (a + 2 b) x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x} y_{p}^{''} (x) = (2 a + 2 b) e^{x} + (a + 4 b) x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x} y_{p}^{'''} (x) = (3 a + 6 b) e^{x} + (a + 6 b) x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x}$

Then

$y_{p}^{'''} (x) + y_{p}^{''} (x) - 2 y_{p} (x) = (3 a + 6 b) e^{x} + (a + 6 b) x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x} + (2 a + 2 b) e^{x} + (a + 4 b) x e^{x} + b x^{2} e^{x} - 2 a x e^{x} - 2 b x^{2} e^{x} - 2 c = (5 a + 8 b) e^{x} + 10 b x e^{x} - 2 c$

If $(5 a + 8 b) e^{x} + 10 b x e^{x} - 2 c = x e^{x} + 1$

Then $5 a + 8 b = 0, 10 b = 1 a n d - 2 c = 1$

Then $a = - \frac{4}{25}, b = \frac{1}{10} a n d c = - \frac{1}{2}$

Hence $y_{p} (x) = - \frac{4}{25} x e^{x} + \frac{1}{10} x^{2} e^{x} - \frac{1}{2}$
