Thus   D  y  x is called nth order linear differential equation.

  D  = 0 is called an Auxillary equation (A.E.)

To find the roots of   D   0

we use following basic formule

To find the general solution of   D  y  x we have to find C.F. and P.I.

= C.F. + P.I.
G.S
Complimentary function ( C.F )is the solution of the D.E. ϕ(D)y=0. It contains as many
arbitrary constants (and terms) as the degree of the D.E. Each of these terms is a function,
which actually satisfies the D.E. ϕ(D)=0. Since the D.E. is a linear, any linear combination of
these functions will also be a solution to ϕ(D)=0

Perticular Integral (P. I.):- is the function obtained by operating ϕ(D)) on f(x). This involves
integration and can get laborious at times. As f(x)f(x) changes, particular integral changes; but
as long as ϕ(D) does not change, the complimentary function will remain same.

The following table show the roots types and its complementary function.

Let m1, m2, m3 are roots of   D   0

Roots type C . F.

Methods to find particular integral we can find particular integral of equation (1) by using.

i) Shortcut method
ii) Method of variation of parameter
iii) General method.
i) Shortcut method
In this method we hare remove operator D in the equation (1). To find particular
integral P. I. we focus on x function and it’s type whether it is algebraic exponential,
trigonometric etc. following table is useful to find particular integral.
