2D2 - 5DD' + 2D'2z = 24y - x Auxiliary equation 2m2 - 5m + 2 = 0 ⇒2m2 - 4m - m + 2 = 0 ⇒2mm - 2 - 1m - 2 = 0 ⇒m - 22m - 1 = 0 ⇒m =2, 12 So, zc = f1y + 2x + f2y + x2 zp = 1 2D2 - 5DD' + 2D'2 24y - x ⇒ zp = 24 2-12 - 5-11 + 212 ∬ u du du ; u = y - x ⇒ zp = 24 9 u3 6 ⇒ zp = 4 9 y - x3 Solution: z = zc + zp ⇒ z = f1y + 2x + f2y + x2 + 4 9 y - x3
