Inhomogeneous differential equation
How would you solve this:
Let $p(x)=alpha x+beta$ be a first degree polynomial where $alpha$ and $beta$ are arbitrary real numbers. Show that there is a first degree polynomial $q$ that solves the inhomogeneous differential equation $a_ny^{(n)}+a_{n-1}y^{(n-1)}+a_{n-2}y^{(n-2)}+...+a_1y'+a_0y=p$, where $a_0neq 0$.
Thanks on beforehand

For a first degree polynomial $y$ the derivatives $y^{(k)}$ are all $0$ for $k >1$. So you are really working with a first order DE.

Just plug in $q(x)=ax+b$ in the equation and determine $a$ and $b$ by comparing coefficients.. The answer is $q(x)=frac {alpha} {a_0} x+frac {beta a_0 -alpha a_1} {a_0^{2}}$.
