In this lesson we shall learn how to solve the general solution of a 2nd order linear non-homgeneous differential equation.
Given a non-homogeneous differential equation: ay” + by’ + cy = G(x), where G(x) is not zero.
The general solution is given by: y = yc + yp.

To find the general solution, you first need to treat the given D.E as a homogeneous D.E, and solve its general solution – that becomes the general solution called the complementary function, yc.
For the yp, the particular integral, is obtained using the method of undetermined coefficients.
