MATH 371 - Summer 2008 Notes on Undetermined Coefficients Undetermined Coefficients So far‚ we have learned to solve second order linear homogeneous differential equations. We now introduce a method for solving nonhomogeneous second order linear differential equations. That is‚ equations of the form y + p(x)y + q(x)y = r(x) where r(x) is not necessarily 0. We will be considering the special case where the coefficients are constant (so p(x) = b and q(x) = c‚ say)‚ and where r(x) is a sum of functions
