Find general solution

 

The given differential equation is:

\[ x^2 y'' - x(x+2)y' + (x+2)y = 0, \quad 0 < x \]

This is a second-order linear differential equation with variable coefficients. The equation involves the second derivative \( y'' \), the first derivative \( y' \), and the function \( y \) itself. 

Here:
- \( y'' \) denotes the second derivative of \( y \) with respect to \( x \)
- \( y' \) denotes the first derivative of \( y \) with respect to \( x \)

The equation is defined for \( x \) in the interval \( (0, \infty) \).

This type of differential equation commonly appears in mathematical physics and engineering fields, describing phenomena such as heat conduction, wave propagation, and quantum mechanics.
