4.4 Superposition Approach
4.4 Superposition Approach
This method is, however, limited to non-homogeneous linear equations (1) where:
the coefficients ai , i 0,1, 2,..., n are constants and
g ( x) is a constant , example: g ( x) 9 ,
or a polynomial function example: g ( x) 3x 2 4,
or an exponential function example: g ( x) e 2 x
or a sine or cosine function example: g ( x) sin 5 x or g ( x) cos x,
or finite sums and products of these functions
example: g ( x) x3 3x 2 e x sin 6 x
yc g ( x) Form of y p
No duplication between yc
and y p
Therefore:
y p Ax 2 ( B cos x C sin x )
Therefore:
y p Axe4 x ( Bx 2 Cx D )

Therefore:
