This is separable; write
, then

Integrate both sides to get

Given that
when
, we find

so the particular solution is

The image is a bit blurry, but it looks like the equation is

Substitute
, so that
and the equation is linear in
:

Divide through both sides by
:

Integrate both sides and solve for
:


Solve for
by integrating both sides twice:

You could use undetermined coefficients here, but since the equation is free of
, you can substitute
and
to reduce the order and get a linear equation.

Multiply through both sides by
, integrate, solve ... you know the drill:

We could reduce the order again, but that won't avoid having to solve a higher-order ODE like in the previous examples. The homogeneous equation

has characteristic equation

with roots
and
(with multiplicity 2), and thus the characteristic solution is

For the particular solution, assume an ansatz

with derivatives



Substitute these into the ODE and simplify to end up with

Matching up coefficients tells us



So the particular solution is

and the general solution to the ODE is

14.15

The characteristic equation is

with roots
, which admits the characteristic solution

Assume the ansatz

with second derivative

Substitute these into the ODE, simplify, and solve for
:



Then the general solution is
