**Solving Second-Order Linear Differential Equations**

In this problem, we explore an alternative procedure for solving the differential equation:

\[ y'' + by' + cy = (D^2 + bD + c)y = g(t), \tag{4} \]

where \( b \) and \( c \) are constants, and \( D \) denotes differentiation with respect to \( t \). Let \( r_1 \) and \( r_2 \) be the zeros of the characteristic polynomial of the corresponding homogeneous equation. These roots may be real and different, real and equal, or conjugate complex numbers.

### (a) Verification of the Factored Form

Verify that Eq. (1) can be written in the factored form:

\[ (D - r_1)(D - r_2)y = g(t), \]

where \( r_1 + r_2 = -b \) and \( r_1r_2 = c \).

### (b) Solving the Factored Equation

Let \( u = (D - r_2)y \). Then show that the solution of Eq. (1) can be solved by solving the following two first-order equations:

\[ (D - r_1)u = g(t), \]

\[ (D - r_2)y = u(t). \]

By converting the second-order differential equation into a system of first-order differential equations, we simplify the process of finding the solution \( y \). This method involves solving for \( u \) first and then \( y \).
