Explanation Given: The equation is given as, x y ″ + y ′ − 4 y = 0 ... ( 1 ) Approach: The method of Frobenius to obtain a series solution to the equation is stated as, Let x 0 be a regular singular point for y ″ + p y ′ + q y = 0 and let r 1 and r 2 be the roots of the associated indicial equation, where Re r 1 ≥ Re r 2 a. If r 1 − r 2 is not an integer, then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 b. If r 1 = r 2 , then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 1 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 c. If r 1 − r 2 is a positive integer, then there exists two linearly independent solutions of the form given as, y 1 ( x ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 1 , a 0 ≠ 0 y 2 ( x ) = C y 1 ( x ) ln ( x − x 0 ) + ∑ n = 0 ∞ b n ( x − x 0 ) n + r 2 , b 0 ≠ 0 Here C is a constant that could be zero. Calculation: For the differential equation a 2 ( x ) y ″ ( x ) + a 1 ( x ) y ′ ( x ) + a 0 ( x ) y ( x ) = 0 , The polynomials p ( x ) and q ( x ) are given as, p ( x ) = a 1 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) q ( x ) = a 0 ( x ) a 2 ( x ) Compare with the given equation to get, p ( x ) = 1 x q ( x ) = 4 x Therefore, x p ( x ) = 1 and x 2 q ( x ) = − 4 x are analytic at 0 . So, x = 0 is the regular singular point and, p 0 = lim x → 0 x p ( x ) = 1 q 0 = lim x → 0 x 2 q ( x ) = 0 The indicial equation is given as, r ( r − 1 ) + r p 0 + q 0 = 0 … ( 2 ) Solve equation ( 2 ) . r ( r − 1 ) + r p 0 + q 0 = 0 r ( r − 1 ) + r = 0 r 2 = 0 r 1 = 0 , r 2 = 0 The roots are repeated. Therefore, the method of Frobenius gives two linearly independent solutions of the form w ( r , x ) = x r ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n = ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r Let w ( r 1 , x ) = y 1 ( x ) and w ( r 2 , x ) = y 2 ( x ) be the two solutions. Substitute ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r for w ( r , x ) in equation ( 1 ) . x ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) a n x n + r − 2 + ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) a n x n + r − 1 − 4 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r = 0 ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( ( n + r ) ( n + r − 1 ) + 3 ( n + r ) − 1 ) a n x n + r − 1 + ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + r ) a n x n + r − 1 − 4 ∑ n = 0 ∞ a n x n + r = 0 ( [ r ( r − 1 ) + r ] a 0 x r − 1 + ∑ k = 0 ∞ { ( k + r + 1 ) ( k + r ) a k + 1 + ( k + r + 1 ) a k + 1 − 4 a k } x k + r ) = 0 Equate the coefficients equal to 0 gives the indicial equation as, r 2 a 0 = 0 The recurrence relation is given as, ( k + r + 1 ) ( k + r ) a k + 1 − ( k + r + 1 ) a k + 1 − 4 a k = 0 a k + 1 = 4 ( k + r + 1 ) 2 a k ; k ≥ 0 … ( 3 ) Substitute 0 for r in the above relation ( 3 ) as, a k + 1 = 4 ( k + 1 ) 2 a k ; k ≥ 0 … ( 4 ) Substitute 0 for k in equation ( 4 ) . a 1 = 4 ( 0 + 1 ) 2 a 0 = 4 a 0 Substitute 1 for k in equation ( 4 ) . a 2 = 4 ( 1 + 1 ) 2 a 1 = 4 a 0 Substitute 2 for k in equation ( 4 )

To: [Boss's Name] From: Nathaniel D Sain Date: 4/5/2025 Subject: Decision Analysis for Business Scenario Introduction to the Business Scenario Our delivery services business has been experiencing steady growth, leading to an increased demand for faster and more efficient deliveries. To meet this demand, we must decide on the best strategy to expand our fleet. The three possible alternatives under consideration are purchasing new delivery vehicles, leasing vehicles, or partnering with third-party drivers. The decision must account for various external factors, including fuel price fluctuations, demand stability, and competition growth, which we categorize as the states of nature. Each alternative presents unique advantages and challenges, and our goal is to select the most viable option using a structured decision-making approach. Alternatives and States of Nature The three alternatives for fleet expansion were chosen based on their cost implications, operational efficiency, and…
