Particular integral for inhomogeneous term $cos(ax)sin(bx)$?
$begingroup$
If we have a second order ODE with the term in the question as its inhomogeneous component, what trial solutions are suggested for finding the particular integral?
I have tried to 'complexify' the ODE by trying the trial solution $cos(ax)e^{ibx}$ (with the intention of taking the imaginary part of the resulting particular integral), but so far it's taken 3 pages of algebra and I have yet to reach an answer. I struggle to believe there isn't a more elegant solution.
NB $a$ and $b$ are constants.

You can use the trigonometric identity,
$$ cos(ax)sin(bx) = frac 1 2 sin ((a + b)x) - frac 1 2 sin((a - b)x).$$
The right-hand side is free of annoying products!
