Find the coefficients for the particular solution y p (t ) for each fi (t) by substituting
into the differential equation and equating coefficient of like terms. The particular
solution is then the sum of the y p ' s
Add the particular solution y p (t ) to the complementary solution yc (t ) to get the
general solution.
