Answer with Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

DE


x''+x=2e^t

Function:
x=C_1sint+C_2cost+e^t

We have to show that given function is a solution of the equation for all values of the constants.

If given function is solution of DE then it satisfied the given DE.

Differentiate function w.r.t.t


x'=C_1cost-C_2sint+e^t

Again differentiate w.r.t. t


x''=-C_1sint-C_2cost+e^t

Substitute the values in the given DE


-C_1sint-C_2cost+e^t+C_1sint+C_2cost+e^t=2e^t

LHS=RHS

Given function satisfied the given DE.Therefore, it is solution of given DE for all values of the constants.
