In the previous module, we were concerned with the solutions of the homogeneous
equations by first finding the roots of the auxiliary equations, and finally, the solution.
Now we intend to reverse the process, i.e., we are given the solution in terms of a
function and we need to find the corresponding homogeneous equation.

Various methods may apply for obtaining the solution of the equation (1). However,
the most useful and actual working technique is the method called equating
coefficients.
