- 4. Now we'll look at a nonhomogeneous example. The general form for these is y' + p(x)y = f(x). For this problem, we will find solutions of the equation +2xy= xe (a) Identify p(x) and f(x) in the equation above. p(x) = f(x) = (b) The complementary equation is y' + p(x)y = 0. Write the complementary equation. (c) Find a solution for the complementary equation. We'll call this solution y₁. (You only need one particular solution, so you can let k = 0 here.) Y1 = (d) Check that y₁ satisfies the complementary equation, in other words, that y₁+ p(x)y₁ = 0.arrow_forwarddata managementarrow_forwarddata management 1arrow_forward
