Transcribed Image Text:(2) Let \( y = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n \).
(a) Compute \( y' \) and \( y'' \) and write out the first four terms of the series, as well as the coefficient of \( x^n \) in the general term.
(b) Show that if \( y'' = y \), then the coefficients \( a_0 \) and \( a_1 \) are arbitrary, and determine \( a_2 \) and \( a_3 \) in terms of \( a_0 \) and \( a_1 \).
(c) Show that \( a_{n+2} = \frac{a_n}{(n+2)(n+1)} \), for \( n = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots \).
(d) From (2c), show that \( a_n = \frac{a_0}{n!} \) for \( n = 0, 2, 4, \ldots \) and \( a_n = \frac{a_1}{n!} \) for \( n = 1, 3, 5, \ldots \).
