The method of undetermined coefficients for second order nonhomogeneous linear ODEs works well for this problem.  See pages 81-84 and use the sum rule.  Two of the constants will go to zero.  Two others will result in 1/(omega^2-alpha^2) and 1/(omega^2-beta^2); thus the given constraints.

I concur with Shawn regarding problem 6. I have a question about the even extension in problem 29. I am getting that the fourier series is 2/pi-4/pi(1/3 cos(2x) + 1/(3*5) cos (4x) + 1/(5*7) *cos(6x)... The answer in the book has odd numbers instead. Their answer doesn't make sense to me. Any thoughts?

From Jake Eppehimer:

I am not sure how to do number 6 on p. 494. I'm clueless, and there's no answer in the back to verify if I'm doing anything right. Any tips?
