  • Section 3.6 page 178:  1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 18 (A challenge Problem. Hint: Let L[y]=y''+2y'+5y. You could use the method of undetermined coefficients in a straightforward, though laborious, way to find a real valued solution U(t) of
    (*)     L[y]   =   4e^{-t}cos(2t)
    Alternatively, you could look first for a complex valued solution Z(t) for the non-homogeneous equation
    (**)     L[y]   =   4e^{(-1+2i)t}.
    This can be done by the method of undetermined coefficients. Next, write Z(t)=U(t)+iV(t) were U(t), V(t) are real valued functions. Since 4e^{-t}cos(2t) is the real part of 4e^{(-1+2i)t}, then the real part U(t) of Z(t) is a real valued solution of (*). The second method is more sofisticated theoretically, but is much simpler computationally!):
