Give the general solution to (d2y/dx2) - 2dy/dx -3y = 2sinx
Using the auxiliary equation t^2 - 2t - 3t = 0 t therefore is equal to 3 or -1. Using this value, a complementary function is derived. Y= Ae^(3x) + Be^(-x). Finally, to fully solve, a particular integral of y = asinx + bcosx and differentiate it twice, to give equations for Dy/dx and (d2y/dx2). These can be substituted into the initial differential equations to find the values of a and b, Which are -2/5 and 1/5 respectively. The answer is then the complementary function plus the solution to the particular integral y = Ae^(3x) + Be^(-x) + (1/5)cosx - (2/5)sinx

How to solve a standard first order differential equation?
I don't know what I am doing when I solve differential equations using the integrating factor and why does this give us the solutions it does?
Prove by induction that, for all integers n >=1 , ∑(from r=1 to n) r(2r−1)(3r−1)=(n/6)(n+1)(9n^2 -n−2). Assume that 9(k+1)^2 -(k+1)-2=9k^2 +17k+6
