Problem 4 (Non-homogeneous Equations Redux). By now we are very familiar with a procedure for solving a linear, second-order initial value problem

\[
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = f(t), \quad y(t_0) = y_0, \quad y'(t_0) = v_0.
\]

1. First, find the general solution to the associated homogeneous equation

\[
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = 0.
\]

2. Find a particular solution to the non-homogeneous equation

\[
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = f(t)
\]

and add it to the homogeneous solution.

3. Plug in the initial conditions to find the solution to the IVP.

There is actually another way we can proceed, and it allows us to plug the initial conditions into the homogeneous solution before finding the particular solution.

(a) Suppose \( u_1(t) \) is a solution to the initial value problem

\[
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = 0, \quad y(t_0) = y_0, \quad y'(t_0) = v_0,
\]

and \( u_2(t) \) is a solution to

\[
y'' + p(t)y' + q(t)y = f(t), \quad y(t_0) = 0, \quad y'(t_0) = 0.
\]

Show that \( y(t) = u_1(t) + u_2(t) \) is a solution to the original initial value problem (1).

(b) Thanks to Variation of Parameters, we know that if \(\{y_1, y_2\}\) is a fundamental set of solutions to the associated homogeneous equation, then

\[
y_p(t) = v_1(t)y_1(t) + v_2(t)y_2(t)
\]

is a particular solution, where

\[
v_1(t) = - \int_{t_0}^{t} \frac{y_2(\tau)f(\tau)}{y_1(\tau)y_2'(\tau) - y_1'(\tau)y_2(\tau)} \, d\tau,
\quad v_2(t) = \int_{t_0}^{t}
