Explanation Given: Given differential equation is 2 x ( x − 1 ) y ″ + 3 ( x − 1 ) y ′ − y = 0 . Approach: If x 0 is a regular singular point of y ″ + p y ′ + q y = 0 , then the indicial equation for this point is, r ( r − 1 ) + p 0 r + q 0 = 0 , Where p 0 = lim x → x 0 ( x − x 0 ) p ( x ) , q 0 = lim x → x 0 ( x − x 0 ) 2 q ( x ) . The roots of the indicial equation are called the exponents (indices) of the singularity x 0 . A singular point x 0 of y ″ ( x ) + p ( x ) y ′ ( x ) + q ( x ) y ( x ) = 0 is a regular singular point if both ( x − x 0 ) p ( x ) and ( x − x 0 ) 2 q ( x ) are analytic at x 0 .otherwise the point is irregular singular point. If a function is defined at a point x 0 , then it is analytic at the point x 0 . Calculation: Compare the given equation with the standard form to get, p ( x ) = 3 ( x − 1 ) 2 x ( x − 1 ) = 3 2 x And, q ( x ) = − 1 2 x ( x − 1 ) Since p ( x ) and q ( x ) are analytic at x = 0 , 0 is a singular point. Now, p 0 = lim x → 0 x p ( x ) = x ⋅ 3 2 x = 3 2 And, q 0 = lim x → 0 x 2 q ( x ) = lim x → 0 x 2 − 1 2 x ( x − 1 ) = 0 So, the indicial equation is, r ( r − 1 ) + p 0 r + q 0 = 0 r ( r − 1 ) + 3 2 r = 0 r 2 − r + 3 2 r = 0 2 r 2 − 2 r + 3 r = 0 Further simplify, 2 r 2 + r = 0 r ( 2 r + 1 ) = 0 r = 0 , − 1 2 The exponents are, r 1 = 0 and r 2 = − 1 2 . Since, difference of the roots is not an integer, Frobenious method will yield two independent solutions in the form given below. w ( r , x ) = x r ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r … ( 1 ) Differentiate equation (1) upto second derivative. w ′ ( r , x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) x n + r − 1 w ″ ( r , x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) x n + r − 2 Substitute values of w , w ′ and w ″ in equation given differential equation. ( 2 x 2 − 2 x ) ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) x n + r − 2 + ( 3 x − 3 ) ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) x n + r − 1 − ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r = 0 [ 2 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) x n + r − 2 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) x n + r − 1 + 3 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) x n + r − 3 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( n + r ) x n + r − 1 − ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r ] = 0 [ ∑ n = 0 ∞ [ 2 ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) + 3 ( n + r ) ] a n x n + r − ∑ n = 0 ∞ [ 2 ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) + 3 ( n + r ) a n x n + r − 1 ] ] = 0 Substitute k − 1 for n in second summation

In preparing for the upcoming holiday season, Fresh Toy Company (FTC) designed a new doll called The Dougie that teaches children how to dance. The fixed cost to produce the doll is $100,000. The variable cost, which includes material, labor, and shipping costs, is $31 per doll. During the holiday selling season, FTC will sell the dolls for $39 each. If FTC overproduces the dolls, the excess dolls will be sold in January through a distributor who has agreed to pay FTC $10 per doll. Demand for new toys during the holiday selling season is extremely uncertain. Forecasts are for expected sales of 60,000 dolls with a standard deviation of 15,000. The normal probability distribution is assumed to be a good description of the demand. FTC has tentatively decided to produce 60,000 units (the same as average demand), but it wants to conduct an analysis regarding this production quantity before finalizing the decision. (a) Determine the equation for computing FTC's profit for given values of the…
