This video solves externally forced linear differential equations with the method of variation of parameters. This approach is extremely powerful. The idea is to solve the unforced, or "homogeneous" system, and then to replace the unknown coefficients c_k with unknown functions of time c_k(t), and then solve for these functions based on the external forcing.
