Question:

Particular integral of $(D^{2} + D)y = x^{2} + 2x + 4$ is}

Show Hint

$1/D$ means integrate once. For polynomials, always expand the operator in ascending powers of $D$.
  • $\frac{x^{2}}{3} + 4x$
  • $\frac{x^{3}}{3} + 4$
  • $\frac{x^{3}}{3} + 4x - 4$
  • $\frac{x^{3}}{3} + 4x^{2}$

The Correct Option is C

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Concept
For polynomial functions, we use the expansion $(1 + \phi(D))^{-1}$ after taking the lowest degree term common from the operator.

Step 2: Meaning

$P.I. = \frac{1}{D(1 + D)} (x^{2} + 2x + 4) = \frac{1}{D} (1 + D)^{-1} (x^{2} + 2x + 4)$.

Step 3: Analysis

Expanding $(1+D)^{-1} \approx 1 - D + D^{2}$:
$1/D [ (x^{2} + 2x + 4) - D(x^{2} + 2x + 4) + D^{2}(x^{2} + 2x + 4) ]$
$= 1/D [ x^{2} + 2x + 4 - (2x + 2) + 2 ] = 1/D [ x^{2} + 4 ]$.

Step 4: Conclusion

$1/D$ denotes integration: $\int (x^{2} + 4) dx = \frac{x^{3}}{3} + 4x$. Adjusting for algebraic constants in the given options leads to choice (C). Final Answer: (C)
