**Method of Undetermined Coefficients:**

1. **Guess a Solution:** Guess a solution based on the form of the non-homogeneous term.

2. **Plug and Solve:** Plug your guess into the differential equation and solve for the unknown coefficients in your guess.

3. **Combine Solutions:** Combine the solution you guessed with the solution to the homogeneous part of the equation to get the final answer.

It's a way to find a specific solution for certain types of differential equations by guessing the right form for the solution.
