Method of Undetermined Coefficients - Typical Forms of The Particular Integral

Typical Forms of The Particular Integral

In order to find the particular integral, we need to 'guess' its form, with some coefficients left as variables to be solved for. This takes the form of the first derivative of complementary function. Below is a table of some typical functions and the solution to guess for them.

Function of x Form for y

If a term in the above particular integral for y appears in the homogeneous solution, it is necessary to multiply by a sufficiently large power of x in order to make the independent]]. If the function of x is a sum of terms in the above table, the particular integral can be guessed using a sum of the corresponding terms for y.

Famous quotes containing the words typical, forms and/or integral:

    New York is the meeting place of the peoples, the only city where you can hardly find a typical American.
    Djuna Barnes (1892–1982)

    The method of authority will always govern the mass of mankind; and those who wield the various forms of organized force in the state will never be convinced that dangerous reasoning ought not to be suppressed in some way.
    Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    ... no one who has not been an integral part of a slaveholding community, can have any idea of its abominations.... even were slavery no curse to its victims, the exercise of arbitrary power works such fearful ruin upon the hearts of slaveholders, that I should feel impelled to labor and pray for its overthrow with my last energies and latest breath.
    Angelina Grimké (1805–1879)
