### Using Power Series to Solve a Differential Equation

To solve the differential equation 

\[y'' - 6xy' + 9y = 0\]

using power series, follow these steps. Below are potential solutions. Select the correct one. Here, \(c_0\) and \(c_1\) are arbitrary constants.

#### Choose the correct solution below:

- **A.**
\[ 
y = c_0 \left( 1 - \frac{9}{2}x^2 - \frac{9}{8}x^4 + \ldots \right) + c_1 \left( x - \frac{1}{2}x^3 - \frac{9}{40}x^5 + \ldots \right) 
\]

- **B.**
\[ 
y = c_0 \left( x - \frac{9}{2}x^3 - \frac{9}{8}x^5 + \ldots \right) + c_1 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{2}x^2 - \frac{9}{40}x^4 + \ldots \right) 
\]

- **C.**
\[ 
y = c_0 \left( x + \frac{9}{2}x^3 + \frac{1}{4}x^5 + \ldots \right) + c_1 \left( 1 - \frac{1}{2}x^2 + \frac{9}{20}x^4 + \ldots \right) 
\]

- **D.**
\[ 
y = c_0 \left( 1 - \frac{9}{2}x^2 + \frac{1}{4}x^4 + \ldots \right) + c_1 \left( x - \frac{1}{2}x^3 + \frac{9}{20}x^5 + \ldots \right) 
\]
