is the sum I I=I Ih+Ip , where Ih is a general solution of the homogeneous ODE corresponding to the above equation and Ip is a particular solution. We first determine Ip by the method of undetermined coefficients. We substitute:
I p = a cos t + b sin t I p = ( a sin t + b cos t )
2 I p = ( a cos t b sin t )

into the first equation. Then we collect the cosine terms and equate them to Eocost on the right, and we equate the sine terms into zero because there i no sine is i term on the h right. i h
