In this paper, it is shown how non-homogeneous linear differential equations, especially those of the second order, are solved by means of GeoGebra applets, This is done by indeterminate coefficient methods and variation of parameters, in the course of differential equations for engineering students of the University of Antofagasta in Chile. The use of free software GeoGebra has been increasing in the teaching of mathematics, mainly in non-homogeneous linear differential equations, because it facilitates the teaching and learning process
