>_<

what information was i given?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Gotta give me time to type it up :)

Ohhh, okay

\[xy''+2xy' + 6e^{x}y = 0\] Roots of this problem are r = 0, 1 The recurrence relation is for r= 1 is: \[a_{n} = \frac{ -2na_{n-1}-\sum_{k=0}^{n-1}\frac{ 6a_{n-k-1} }{ k! } }{ (n+1)(n) }\] The first several terms for the solution given this recurrence relation are: \[y_{1}(x) = x-4x^{2}+\frac{17}{3}x^{3}-\frac{47}{12}x^{4}+...\] So, using this information to help, I need a second solution of the form: \[y_{2}(x) = \alpha y_{1}(x)\ln|x| + \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}c_{n}x^{r_{2}+n}\]

@LenaBot4000 Sorry for the time it took to type this.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no problem, seems like it would be a lot to type. And i am sorry for being of no assistance. I need to finish a report in my English class. Would have been glad to help though, farewell and good luck with this
