ok...can anybody clarify whether these are correct...as i got none of these answers :-(((

i must admit it was late so numerical mistakes may have crept in. work through the methods for youself to see. alternatively differentiate the answers and see if they work.

i just did no.2 quickly, and i got:

(e^2x / 21)[3sin3x + 2cos2x]

which looks completely different to mathz's, but oh well...

y=(e^2x / 21)[3sin3x + 2cos2x]
y'=(2e^(2x)[3sin 3x+2cos2x]/21+{e^(2x)(9cos3x-4sin3x)/21
=e^2x[6sin3x+4cos2x+9cos3x-4sin2x}/21
which is not e^(2x).cos3x . follow the method i used. i showed working as well as the answers.

yeah, i tried differentiating mine and saw that it was wrong

i just realised where i went wrong....i got to the penultimate line (of your working) and for the last term, wrote (4/3)I instead of (4/9)I
