How can i solve this exercise? 

**Problem Statement:**
Find at least the first four nonzero terms in a power series expansion about \( x_0 \) for a general solution to the given Differential equation with the given value for \( x_0 \).

Given Differential Equation:
\[ (x^2 - 5x + 6)y'' - 3xy' - y = 0, \quad x_0 = 0 \]

**Steps to Solve:**

1. **Identify the Ordinary Point:**
   \[ x_0 = 0 \]

2. **Formulate the Power Series Solution:**
   Assume a solution of the form:
   \[ y = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n \]

3. **Find the Derivatives:**
   \[ y' = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n a_n x^{n-1} \]
   \[ y'' = \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} n(n-1) a_n x^{n-2} \]

4. **Insert into the Differential Equation:**
   Substitute \( y, y', \) and \( y'' \) into the differential equation, and group the coefficients of like powers of \( x \) to find a recurrence relation for the coefficients \( a_n \).

5. **Determine the Coefficients:**
   Solve for the coefficients \( a_n \) to get the first four nonzero terms.

**Example Detailed Calculation (Not provided as image transcription):**

- Substitute the power series into the differential equation.
- Match coefficients for different powers of \( x \).
- Extract the first few coefficients such as \( a_0, a_1, a_2, \), etc.

You will end up with a power series of the form:
\[ y = a_0 + a_1 x + a_2 x^2 + a_3 x^3 + \dots \]

Where the coefficients \( a_0, a_1, a_2, \), etc. are determined through the process.

**Note:**
For a complete and specific solution, refer to solving ordinary differential equations using power series methods, focusing on finding the coefficients \( a_n \) sequentially. This will guide in identifying the first four nonzero terms in the power series.

This step-by-step approach provides students with a clear understanding of how to tackle similar problems
