Inspired by the method of undetermined coefficients, this paper presents an alternative method to solve linear differential equations with constant coefficients, using the technique of polynomial long division. Expanding this technique with the exponential shift law enables to solve all types of non-homogeneous differential equations, of where the undetermined coefficients can be applied.
