Given
2 y '' 3 y ' y  t 2  3sin t

Step 1
The characteristic equation to homogeneous ODE 2 y '' 3 y ' y  0......(H) is
2r 2  3r  1  0 with roots r1  1 and r2  1/ 2
Thus, the general solution to equation (H) is as:
t

t
yh (t )  c1e  c2e 2

Step 2
Now for nonhomogeneous equation 2 y '' 3 y ' y  t 2  3sin t......( N ) , one can guess a
particular solution as:
y p (t )  At1
2
 A2t  A3  B1 sin t  B2 cos t
Now further,
y ' p (t )  2 A1t  A2  B1 cos t  B2 sin t
y " p (t )  2 A1  B1 sin t  B2 cos t

Step 3
The expressions above can be substituted in equation (N) which results in
2 y '' 3 y ' y  t 2  3sin t......( N )
2(2 A1  B1 sin t  B2 cos t )  3(2 A1t  A2  B1 cos t  B2 sin t ) 
A1t 2  A2t  A3  B1 sin t  B2 cos t  t 2  3sin t

Step 4
Further, algebraic expressions are resulted as:
A1  1
6 A1  A2  0
4 A1  3 A2  A3  0
2 B1  3B2  B1  3
2 B2  3B1  B2  0

Further, solving above algebraic expressions results in

A1  1, A2  6, A3  14
3 9
B1   , B2  

t
 3 9
Hence, the general solution to N is y (t )  c1et  c2e 2
 t 2  6t  14  sin t  cos t
