Consider the example ﷐𝑦﷮′′﷯+𝑦=﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝑥
Can we find one particular solution ﷐𝑦﷮𝜙﷯ to the equation?

Try a solution of the form 𝑦=𝐴﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝐵𝑥+𝐶
Then ﷐𝑦﷮′﷯=2𝐴𝑥+𝑏, ﷐𝑦﷮′′﷯=2𝐴
Substituting 𝑦=𝐴﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝐵𝑥+𝐶 into the equation
2𝐴+𝐴﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝐵𝑥+𝐶=﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝑥

Equating coefficients
﷐𝑥﷮2﷯: 𝐴=1
﷐𝑥﷮1﷯: 𝐵=1
﷐𝑥﷮0﷯: 2𝐴+𝐶=0

Then 𝐶=−2𝐴=−2

Hence 
𝑦=﷐𝑥﷮2﷯+𝑥−2 is a solution to the non-homogeneous equation


Are there any other solutions to the given equation?
Consider the associated homogeneous equation ﷐𝑦﷮′′﷯+𝑦=0

The characteristic equation is 
﷐𝜆﷮2﷯+1=0
﷐λ+𝑖﷯﷐𝜆−𝑖﷯=0
𝜆=±𝑖
𝜆=0±𝑖

The general solution is
𝑦=﷐𝑒﷮0𝑥﷯﷐𝐶﷐cos﷮𝑖𝑥﷯+𝐷﷐sin﷮𝑖𝑥﷯﷯

General solution is
𝑦=𝐶﷐cos﷮𝑥﷯+𝐷﷐sin﷮𝑥﷯
