Method of Variation of Parameters

Due to f(x)

Chapter 4

ay by cy f ( x)
This method can be applied to any non-homogeneous differential equation no matter
What the coefficients and the function f(x) are.
Method of undetermined coefficients is mostly quicker and easier to apply as it
involves differentiation. Whereas method of variation of parameters involve
Integration. We may prefer to use method of undetermined coefficients where ever
possible.
