Transcribed Image Text:In this exercise we consider finding the first five coefficients in the series solution of the second
order linear
initial value problem 1y" — xy' + 3y = 0 subject to the initial condition y(0) = 3, y′ (0) = 2.
Since the equation has an ordinary point at x = 0 and it has a power series solution in the form
Cn =
has been factored out.
(1) Insert the formal power series into the differential equation and derive the recurrence relation
Cn-2 for n = 2, 3, … . .
The solution to this initial value problem can be written in the form y(x) = coy₁(x) + C₁Y2(x)
where co and c₁ are determined from the initial conditions. The function y₁ (x) is an even function
and y₂(x) is an odd function.
For this example, from the initial conditions, we have c =
