### Using Undetermined Coefficients to Find the Particular Solution

To find the particular solution to the second-order non-homogeneous differential equation using the method of undetermined coefficients, follow the instructions below:

The given differential equation is:
\[ y'' - 3y' + y = 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \]

We need to find the particular solution \( y_p(t) \).

1. **Identify the form of the non-homogeneous term:**
   - The non-homogeneous term on the right-hand side is \( 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \).

2. **Guess the form of the particular solution \( y_p(t) \):**
   - Since the non-homogeneous term \( 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \) is a polynomial of degree 2, guess the particular solution in the form of a polynomial of degree 2:
   \[ y_p(t) = At^2 + Bt + C \]
   where \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) are constants to be determined.

3. **Find the derivatives of \( y_p(t) \):**
   \[ y_p'(t) = 2At + B \]
   \[ y_p''(t) = 2A \]

4. **Substitute \( y_p(t) \), \( y_p'(t) \), and \( y_p''(t) \) into the original differential equation:**
   \[ 2A - 3(2At + B) + (At^2 + Bt + C) = 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \]

5. **Collect like terms and equate coefficients of corresponding powers of \( t \):**
   \[ 2A - 6At - 3B + At^2 + Bt + C = 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \]

   Simplifying, we get:
   \[ At^2 + (-6A + B)t + (2A - 3B + C) = 4t^2 + 6t + 5 \]

6. **Equate coefficients:**
   - Coefficient of \( t^2 \): \( A = 4 \)
   - Coefficient of \( t \): \( -6A + B =
