Step 1. Replace the arbitrary constants c1 and c2 in (1.2) with unknown functions
A(x) and B(x), so that the trial particular integral is
Step 2. Since yp is a solution of (1.1), finding the derivatives yp0 and yp00 , substituting
in (1.1), using the fact that u1 (x) and u2 (x) are the solutions of (1.3), and then

The relations (1.5) and (1.6) are two simultaneous equations in two unknowns
A0 (x) and B 0 (x). Therefore, solving these
