The method of undetermined coefficients may work well when the entries of the vector F are constants, polynomials, exponentials, sines and cosines, or some combination of these. Our guesses for the particular solution will be similar to the kinds of guesses we used to solve second order nonhomogeneous equations, except that we’ll use vectors instead of constants.
Read MoreUndetermined coefficients is a method you can use to find the general solution to a second-order (or higher-order) nonhomogeneous differential equation. Remember that homogenous differential equations have a 0 on the right side, where nonhomogeneous differential equations have a non-zero function on the right side.
