    The document discusses solving a 4th order differential equation using the method of undetermined coefficients. It first finds the general solution to the homogeneous equation, which has 4 linearly independent solutions. It then tries various particular solutions of the form cx^n to find one that satisfies the nonhomogeneous term, arriving at a solution of x^4.
