Question
Consider the following first order differential equation. Let \( y = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n \) be a power series solution in \( x \) to the equation.

\[ y' - 4y = 0, \quad y(0) = 3 \]

a) Find the general coefficient \( a_n \) of the power series of the solution \( y \) in terms of \( n \).

\[ a_n = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]

b) Calculate the radius of convergence (use \( \infty \) if the radius is infinite).

\[ R = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]

c) Express the solution in terms of familiar elementary functions.

\[ y(x) = \underline{\hspace{3cm}} \]
