TopicSecond order differential equations
TypeStandard non-homogeneous with trigonometric RHS
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a standard second-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation from Further Maths FP2. While it requires multiple steps (finding complementary function via auxiliary equation, then particular integral using undetermined coefficients with trigonometric terms), it's a textbook application of well-defined methods with no novel insight required. The trigonometric RHS adds modest algebraic complexity but follows standard procedures, making it moderately above average difficulty for A-level but routine for Further Maths students.
Spec4.10e Second order non-homogeneous: complementary + particular integral

4. Find the general solution of the differential equation $$\frac { \mathrm { d } ^ { 2 } x } { \mathrm {~d} t ^ { 2 } } + 5 \frac { \mathrm {~d} x } { \mathrm {~d} t } + 6 x = 2 \cos t - \sin t$$
