Draw out a horizontal line. Place 0 at the center. Then place evenly spaced tick marks on either side of 0. Label the right side of tick marks as 1, 2, 3, ... moving from 0 and going to the right

Label the left side of tick marks -1, -2, -3, ... starting at 0 and moving left

The location -3 on the number line is exactly 3 units away from 0. We start at 0 and move to -3 by moving 3 spots to the left; or we start at -3 and move 3 units to the right to get to 0.

Therefore, the absolute value of -3 is 3
Absolute value on a number line is the distance a number is from 0
The distance is never negative

Answer:

$y_p=A+Bt+Ce^{2t}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: $y'' - 2y' = 6t + 5e^{2t}$ .

we need to find the correct form for $y_p$ if the equation is solve using undetermined coefficients.

A first order differential equation $\frac{\mathrm{d} y}{\mathrm{d} x}=f\left ( x,y \right )$ is said to be homogeneous if $f(tx,ty)=f(x,y)$ for all t.
