The particular solution to
\(y'' + 9y = -18\sin(3t)\) is
\(y_p = \sin(3t) - \cos(3t)\).

To find the particular solution
\(y_p\) to the differential equation
\(y'' + 9y = -18\sin(3t)\), let's first determine the form of the particular solution based on the form of the right-hand side function.

Given the form of the non-homogeneous term
(\(-18\sin(3t)\)), since the differential equation involves a sinusoidal function with a frequency of 3, the particular solution will also take the form of a sinusoidal function but with modified coefficients to fit the equation.

Let's assume a particular solution of the form
\(y_p = A\sin(3t) + B\cos(3t)\), where A and B are constants to be determined.

Now, let's find the first and second derivatives of \(y_p\) to substitute them into the differential equation and solve for \(A\) and \(B\).


\[y_p = A\sin(3t) + B\cos(3t)\]


\[y_p' = 3A\cos(3t) - 3B\sin(3t)\]


\[y_p'' = -9A\sin(3t) - 9B\cos(3t)\]

Substitute these derivatives into the differential equation
\(y'' + 9y = -18\sin(3t)\):


\[-9A\sin(3t) - 9B\cos(3t) + 9(A\sin(3t) + B\cos(3t)) = -18\sin(3t)\]

Simplify the equation:


\((-9A + 9B)\sin(3t) + (-9B - 9A)\cos(3t) = -18\sin(3t)\)

By comparing coefficients of sine and cosine terms separately:

For the sine term: -9A + 9B = -18

For the cosine term: -9B - 9A = 0

Solve these equations simultaneously:

From -9A - 9B = 0, we get A = -B. Substitute this into the first equation:

-9A + 9B = -18

-9A + 9(-A) = -18

-18A = -18

A = 1

Since A = -B, B = -1.

Therefore, the particular solution
\(y_p\) is:


\[y_p = \sin(3t) - \cos(3t)\]

y''+9y=-18sin(3t)
