To find: The general solution of the differential equation

Answer to Problem 1E
The general solution of the differential equation
Explanation of Solution
Formula used:
Power Series Method:
The power series method for solving a second-order homogenous differential equation consists of finding the coefficients of a power series
Calculation:
The given equation is
Assume that the series solution takes the form of
Calculate the derivative of
Now calculate the second derivative of
Substitute the derivatives of
Equate the coefficient of each power of x to zero as shown in the following table.
Power of x | Coefficient equation |
The recursive relation
Thus,
Hence,
On further simplification,
Where
Therefore, the general solution of the differential equation
