using the variation of parameters system of equations with as the two solutions

Question

using the variation of parameters system of equations with

as the two solutions to the homogenous equation

the correct answer for the particular solution is

but this is not what I am getting...I am sure it has something to do with the fact that one of the solutions

of the homogenous equation is identical to the forcing function...Now I know how to handle this situtation

with the method of undetermined coefficients but I am at a loss of what to do with the variation of

parameters...A hint will suffice...you dont have to solve the problem to get the points...

I THINK I GOT IT NOW...JUST DIVIDE BY X^2 EVERYWHERE...NOW THE METHOD OF VARIATION OF PARAMETERS APPLIES...NOW LOOKING FOR CONFIRMATION WHILE I TRY THE PROBLEM AGAIN

Explanation / Answer

I got the right answer this time...is it against cramster law to give myself the points? hope not...
