**Another Regular Sturm-Liouville Problem**

Determine the eigenvalues (\(\lambda_n\)) and eigenfunctions (\(\varphi_n(x)\)) for the differential equation

\[ 2x \varphi''(x) + \varphi'(x) + \lambda \varphi(x) = 0 \]

for \( 0 \leq x \leq 1 \), along with the boundary conditions, \(\varphi(0) = \varphi(1) = 0\). *Hint: See Problem #5 of Homework #4.*

Determine the "dot" product for which \(\varphi_m \cdot \varphi_n = 0\) when \(m \neq n\) and use this to determine the coefficients \(a_n\) if the function \(f(x) = x\) is expanded as

\[ f(x) = x = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} a_n \varphi_n(x) \]

for \(0 \leq x \leq 1\).

**Problem #5: Solving 2nd-Order, Linear, Homogeneous ODEs**

Given the 2nd-order, linear, homogeneous ordinary differential equation (ODE):

\[ y''(x) + P(x)y'(x) + Q(x)y(x) = 0, \]

it can be shown that if the quantity

\[ \gamma = \frac{Q'(x) + 2P(x)Q(x)}{(Q(x))^{3/2}} \]

is a constant, then the transformation

\[ z = \int \sqrt{\alpha Q(x)} \, dx \]

for any non-zero constant \( \alpha \) will transform the original ODE to the ODE

\[ \Psi''(z) + \frac{\gamma}{2\sqrt{\alpha}} \Psi'(z) + \frac{1}{\alpha} \Psi(z) = 0 \]

which has constant coefficients. The solution to the original ODE is then

\[ y(x) = \Psi(z) \quad \text{with} \quad z = \int \sqrt{\alpha Q(x)} \, dx. \]

Use this idea to determine a general solution to the following ODE:

\[ 2xy''(x) + y'(x) + \lambda y(x) = 0 \]

for \( x > 0 \).
