Question: If n is an integer, use the substitution R(x) = (x) -1/2 Z(x) to show that the general solution of the differential equation x 2
If n is an integer, use the substitution R(x) = (αx)-1/2Z(x) to show that the general solution of the differential equation
x2R'' + 2xR'' + [α2x2 - n(n + 1)]R = 0
on the interval (0, ∞) is R(x) = c1jn(αx) + c2yn(αx), where jn(αx) and yn(αx) are the spherical Bessel functions of the first and second kind defined in (27).
