Question: Consider the following differential equation 2 y ' ' + ( x + 1 ) y ' + y = 0 , x 0 =

Consider the following differential equation
2y''+(x+1)y'+y=0,x0=2.
(a) Seek a power series solution for the given differential equation about the given point x0; find the recurrence relation that the coefficients must satisfy.
an+2=-32(n+2),an+1+,an,n=0,1,2,cdots
(b) Find the first four nonzero terms in each of two solutions y1 and y2. NOTE: For y1, set a0=1 and a1=0 in the power series to find the first four non-zero terms. For y2, set a0=0 and a1=1 in the power series to find the first four non-zero terms.
X y1(x)=
y2(x)=
