Problem #7: Consider the differential equation 2x²y" + (x² + x)y' - y = 0. (a) Without solving this differential equation, one can say that any power series solution centered at the ordinary point xo = 3 (i.e. a series involving powers of x − 3) has a radius of convergence at least equal to R. What is R? (Enter infinity if R = ∞.) (b) Find the two roots of the indicial equation associated with the regular singular point xo = 0. Separate your answers with a comma. (c) If r₁ denotes the largest of the 2 roots of the indicial equation, the differential equation above has a solution of the form ∞ Σ cnxntr n=0 where Cn = g(n)cn-1, n ≥ 1, for a certain function g(n). Compute g(n). (d) Write the sum of the first 3 non-zero terms of the series in (c) if co = 1.
