The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

We are given: \[ \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+3\frac{dy}{dx}+2y=e^{-2x}. \] Using operator notation: \[ (D^2+3D+2)y=e^{-2x}. \] Here, \[ F(D)=D^2+3D+2. \] The particular integral is: \[ P.I.=\frac{1}{F(D)}e^{-2x}. \] For \(e^{ax}\), we use: \[ F(D)e^{ax}=F(a)e^{ax}. \] Here, \[ a=-2. \] Now calculate: \[ F(-2)=(-2)^2+3(-2)+2. \] \[ F(-2)=4-6+2. \] \[ F(-2)=0. \] Since \(F(-2)=0\), the usual method fails because \(-2\) is a root of the auxiliary equation. So we use the repeated-root particular integral rule: \[ P.I.=\frac{x e^{-2x}}{F'(-2)}. \] Now find: \[ F'(D)=2D+3. \] Therefore, \[ F'(-2)=2(-2)+3. \] \[ F'(-2)=-4+3=-1. \] Hence, \[ P.I.=\frac{x e^{-2x}}{-1}. \] \[ P.I.=-xe^{-2x}. \] Therefore, the particular integral is: \[ -xe^{-2x}. \]
