How do I complete problem #11 from part A to D? This is from my differential equations textbook. The section is titled, "Series Solutions Near an Ordinary Point, Part I." Just in case you're lost, here is a picture of an example. I'm still trying to understand how to solve from parts A to D for #11.

We assume that dy(x) + ax) (16) where y(x) and ys(x) are the first and second bracketed expre Having obtained these two series solutions, we can now inv of the rapid growth of the denominators of the terms in the serie expect these series to have a large radius of convergence. Inde show that both of these series converge for all x; see Problem Assume for the moment that the series for y and y do c first a 1, a y and that the series converges in some interval lx!< p.the series for y" is given by equation (7); as explained in the preceding example, we can rewrite it as (17) (n+2)(n+1)a,+2 = 0 and then do = 0, a ot equation (15). notice that y satisfies the initial condition satisfies the initial conditions y2(0)-0,y,(0) = 1. thus w y and yy are a fundamental set of solutions, hence the gener 1, it follows thar no substituting the series (16) and (17) for y and y" into the left-hand side of equation (15), we obtain y@(x) + a(x) (n+2)(+ da (18) ax=(n+2)(n+ 1)a,.x-ax -00 in figures 5.2.3 and 5.2.4, respectively, we show the gra equation as well as graphs of several partial sums of the t *e next, we shift the index of summation in the second series on the right-hand side of equation (s) by replacing n byn -1 and starting the summation at 1 rather than zero. thus we write equation (15) partial sums provide local approximations to the solutions in the quality of the approximation improves as the number adequately represent yi and yy for large jx]. a practical given partial sum is reasonably accurate is to compare the one, obtained by including one more term. as soon as the can be confident that the original partial sum is no longer as a"-0. 2- lag+n+2)(n+ dx- l graphs for n= *-l 24 and n 27 begin to separate at about partial sum of degree 24 is worthless as an approximation again, for this equation to be satisfied for allx in some interval, the coefficients of like powers of x must be zero; hence a = 0, and we obtain the recurrence relation x (19) (n+2)(n+1)a2-a-10 for n 1,2,3, .... 24 36 n 48 12 since a is given in terms of a,.t, the a's are determined in steps of three. thus ao determines a3, which in turn determines as,..a, determines a4, which in turn determines a,. and ay determines as, which in turn determines as, . .since az = 0, we immediately conclude that as = as = a1= 0. for the sequence ao, as, as, ag, we set n= 1, 4, 7, 10, ... in the recurrence relation: 18 61 42 30 y ya) aa do -8 a3 06 8-9 2-3-5 6-8-9 2-3-5.6 5 6 2-3 these results suggest the general formula do n 4. 2.3-5-6(3n - 1)(3n) o p.the="" series="" for="" y"="" is="" given="" by="" equation="" (7);="" as="" explained="" in="" the="" preceding="" example,="" we="" can="" rewrite="" it="" as="" (17)="" (n+2)(n+1)a,+2="0" and="" then="" do="0," a="" ot="" equation="" (15).="" notice="" that="" y="" satisfies="" the="" initial="" condition="" satisfies="" the="" initial="" conditions="" y2(0)-0,y,(0)="1." thus="" w="" y="" and="" yy="" are="" a="" fundamental="" set="" of="" solutions,="" hence="" the="" gener="" 1,="" it="" follows="" thar="" no="" substituting="" the="" series="" (16)="" and="" (17)="" for="" y="" and="" y"="" into="" the="" left-hand="" side="" of="" equation="" (15),="" we="" obtain="" y@(x)="" +="" a(x)="" (n+2)(+="" da="" (18)="" ax="(n+2)(n+" 1)a,.x-ax="" -00="" in="" figures="" 5.2.3="" and="" 5.2.4,="" respectively,="" we="" show="" the="" gra="" equation="" as="" well="" as="" graphs="" of="" several="" partial="" sums="" of="" the="" t="" *e="" next,="" we="" shift="" the="" index="" of="" summation="" in="" the="" second="" series="" on="" the="" right-hand="" side="" of="" equation="" (s)="" by="" replacing="" n="" byn="" -1="" and="" starting="" the="" summation="" at="" 1="" rather="" than="" zero.="" thus="" we="" write="" equation="" (15)="" partial="" sums="" provide="" local="" approximations="" to="" the="" solutions="" in="" the="" quality="" of="" the="" approximation="" improves="" as="" the="" number="" adequately="" represent="" yi="" and="" yy="" for="" large="" jx].="" a="" practical="" given="" partial="" sum="" is="" reasonably="" accurate="" is="" to="" compare="" the="" one,="" obtained="" by="" including="" one="" more="" term.="" as="" soon="" as="" the="" can="" be="" confident="" that="" the="" original="" partial="" sum="" is="" no="" longer="" as="" a"-0.="" 2-="" lag+n+2)(n+="" dx-="" l="" graphs="" for="" n="*-l" 24="" and="" n="" 27="" begin="" to="" separate="" at="" about="" partial="" sum="" of="" degree="" 24="" is="" worthless="" as="" an="" approximation="" again,="" for="" this="" equation="" to="" be="" satisfied="" for="" allx="" in="" some="" interval,="" the="" coefficients="" of="" like="" powers="" of="" x="" must="" be="" zero;="" hence="" a="0," and="" we="" obtain="" the="" recurrence="" relation="" x="" (19)="" (n+2)(n+1)a2-a-10="" for="" n="" 1,2,3,="" ....="" 24="" 36="" n="" 48="" 12="" since="" a="" is="" given="" in="" terms="" of="" a,.t,="" the="" a's="" are="" determined="" in="" steps="" of="" three.="" thus="" ao="" determines="" a3,="" which="" in="" turn="" determines="" as,..a,="" determines="" a4,="" which="" in="" turn="" determines="" a,.="" and="" ay="" determines="" as,="" which="" in="" turn="" determines="" as,="" .="" .since="" az="0," we="" immediately="" conclude="" that="" as="as" =="" a1="0." for="" the="" sequence="" ao,="" as,="" as,="" ag,="" we="" set="" n="1," 4,="" 7,="" 10,="" ...="" in="" the="" recurrence="" relation:="" 18="" 61="" 42="" 30="" y="" ya)="" aa="" do="" -8="" a3="" 06="" 8-9="" 2-3-5="" 6-8-9="" 2-3-5.6="" 5="" 6="" 2-3="" these="" results="" suggest="" the="" general="" formula="" do="" n="" 4.="" 2.3-5-6(3n="" -="" 1)(3n)="">
