Question

Use the power series method to find a general solution to the problem

(x-1)y'' + y' =0

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given that x-1y''+y'=0

The objective is to find the solution for the differential equation using the power series.

Take y=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+a5x5+....

Take the derivative for y=a0+a1x+a2x2+a3x3+a4x4+a5x5+....

y'=a1+2a2x+3a3x2+4a4x3+5a5x4+...

Take the derivative for y'=a1+2a2x+3a3x2+4a4x3+5a5x4+...,

y''=2a2+6a3x+12a4x2+20a5x3+...
