doing so now actually

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have u done taylor series solution for differential equations ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but i'm having some trouble with it. maybe we can figure it out together

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y \prime \prime + ( \sin x ) y \prime + ( \cos x )y = 0 ; y(0)=0 , y \prime(0)= 1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ok :) Here's the question please help me :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not too sure when it's regarding trig stuff, we haven't really gotten into that. what we've done is always do \[y = \Sigma (AnX^n)\], then take the first and second derivatives of it. after, plug it all back int the original equation.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, but isn't this for the power series ? :s

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not sure how to find it without going through the power series. and even at that, i think it'd be messy :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh :(
