This DE has characteristic equation

with a repeated root at r = 3/2. Then the characteristic solution is

which has derivative

Use the given initial conditions to solve for the constants:


and so the particular solution to the IVP is

Ax + z = aw - y....subtract aw from both sides
ax - aw + z = -y....subtract z from both sides
ax - aw = -y - z....factor out a on the left side
a(x - w) = -y - z...divide both sides by (x-w)
a = (-y - z) / (x - w)
Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:
You have to use the property of quotient of powers, you subtract the power of the fraction denominator from the numerator
