Nonhomogeneous Linear Systems: Undetermined Coefficients

The document discusses the method of undetermined coefficients for solving non-homogeneous linear systems. It begins by reviewing homogeneous linear systems and their general solutions. It then introduces the method of undetermined coefficients, which helps guess the form of the specific solution to the non-homogeneous term. This method rewrites the homogeneous term as a sum of constant vectors times functions, then substitutes this into the general solution to obtain the general solution for the non-homogeneous linear system.
