Answer 2

Is this differential equations, correct?

Answer 3

@Kainui

Answer 4

yes

Answer 5

What have you tried so far @acrawford44 ?

Answer 6

power series formula is not yielding the correct result

Answer 7

This is a first order ODE, but unfortunately, I wasn't taught this technique of using power series. :/

Answer 8

What answer are you getting? I can try to help you find your mistake.

Answer 9

I imagine the main trick is when you have this and try multiplying it by x or when you take the derivative that's giving you issues. $$y = \sum_{n=0}^\infty a_nx^n$$

Answer 10

Do you get it @acrawford44
