Im a bit confused on the sigma math from part a..Could you please be detailed.on each part. Thank you!!

### Differential Equations: Power Series Solutions

Consider the differential equation:

\[2y'' + (x + 1)y' + 3y = 0,\]

with \(x_0 = 2\).

#### (a) Power Series Solutions
Seek power series solutions of the given differential equation about the given point \(x_0\); find the recurrence relation that the coefficients must satisfy.

#### (b) First Four Nonzero Terms
Find the first four nonzero terms in each of two solutions \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) (unless the series terminates sooner).

#### (c) Wronskian and Fundamental Set of Solutions
By evaluating the Wronskian \(W[y_1, y_2](x_0)\), show that \(y_1\) and \(y_2\) form a fundamental set of solutions.

#### (d) General Term
If possible, find the general term in each solution.
