First we find the Complementary Function (CF) i.e. the solution of:

\n

\\[\\simplify[std]{d^2y/dx^2+{2*p}*(dy/dx)+{p^2-q^2}y=0}\\]

\n

The auxillary equation is $\\simplify[std]{lambda^2+{2*p}lambda+{p^2-q^2}=0} \\Rightarrow \\simplify[std]{(lambda+{p-q})(lambda+{p+q})=0}\\Rightarrow \\lambda = \\var{q-p}\\textrm{ or }\\lambda = \\var{-q-p} $

\n

Hence the CF is $\\displaystyle{y_{CF}(x)=\\simplify[std]{A*e^({q-p}x)+ B*e^({-q-p}x)}}$ for $A$, $B$ arbitrary constants.

\n

So $a=\\var{q-p}$ and $b=\\var{-q-p}$ as we required $a \\gt b$.

\n

To find the Particular Integral (PI) for $\\displaystyle{\\simplify[std]{d^2y/dx^2+{2*p}*(dy/dx)+{p^2-q^2}y=x}}$, we observe that

\n

$y_{PI}(x)=cx+d$ is a possible PI for constants $c,\\;d$ to be found.

\n

Substituting $y_{PI}(x)=cx+d$ in to the equation gives:

\n

$\\displaystyle \\simplify[std]{{2*p}c+{p^2-q^2}*(cx+d)} =x \\Rightarrow \\simplify[std]{{p^2-q^2}cx+{p^2-q^2}d+{2*p}c}= x \\Rightarrow c=\\simplify[std]{1/{p^2-q^2}},\\;\\;d = \\simplify[std]{{-2p}/{(p^2-q^2)^2}}$

\n

So the particular integral is $\\displaystyle{\\simplify[std]{x/{p^2-q^2}-{2*p}/{(p^2-q^2)^2}}}$
