<h2>
Explanation:</h2>
The diagram for this exercise is attached below. We have two linear functions
and the following relationship:

From the graph, we know that:

Then, substituting into the relationship:

The differential equation

has characteristic equation
<em>r</em> ⁴ - <em>n </em>² <em>r</em> ² = <em>r</em> ² (<em>r</em> ² - <em>n </em>²) = <em>r</em> ² (<em>r</em> - <em>n</em>) (<em>r</em> + <em>n</em>) = 0
with roots <em>r</em> = 0 (multiplicity 2), <em>r</em> = -1, and <em>r</em> = 1, so the characteristic solution is

For the non-homogeneous equation, reduce the order by substituting <em>u(x)</em> = <em>y''(x)</em>, so that <em>u''(x)</em> is the 4th derivative of <em>y</em>, and

Solve for <em>u</em> by using the method of variation of parameters. Note that the characteristic equation now only admits the two exponential solutions found earlier; I denote them by <em>u₁ </em>and <em>u₂</em>. Now we look for a particular solution of the form

where


where <em>W</em> (<em>u₁</em>, <em>u₂</em>) is the Wronskian of <em>u₁ </em>and <em>u₂</em>. We have

and so


So we have

and hence

Finally, integrate both sides twice to solve for <em>y</em> :

look in comments to read it better but x=3 y=2 hope this helps :)
871,000 is the answer when you round it
