Question 1

What is the general form of a higher-order linear non-homogeneous equation?

  • $\\frac{d^2y}{dx^2} + ay = f(x)$
  • $\\frac{d^n y}{dx^n} + a_{n-1} \\frac{d^{n-1}y}{dx^{n-1}} + ... + a_0y = f(x)$
  • $y'' + by' + cy = 0

💡 Hint: Look for derivatives of order $n$ and the non-homogeneous term.
