2y''+18y=6tan3x

There are two parts to the General Solution

GS = CF + PI

We find the the CF by looking at the solution of the homogeneous equation 2y''+18y=0 which is a second order DE with constant coefficients. The Auxiliary Equation is:

2m^2+18=0
:. m^2=-9
:. m=+-3i

So the CF is y=Asin(3x)+ Bcos(3x)

However the PI is much harder to find and the solution can be obtained here
