Solve y' -x^2y = 0 using power series and write the first four terms of the power series

We're looking for a solution of the form

with derivative

Note that .

Substituting into the ODE gives

The first series starts with a constant term, while the second starts with a quadratic term, so we should pull out the first two terms of the first series and have it start at , then shift the index on the second series to achieve the same effect, which allows us to condense the left side as

so that the series solution's coefficients are given according to the recurrence

We can simplify the latter equation somewhat to get it in terms of :

This shows dependency between coefficients that are 3 indices apart, so we check 3 cases:

and so on for all such , giving

and we get the same conclusion as before,

and so on, with the general pattern

Then the series solution is

whose first four terms are

no, x cannot be the same number. in all of them, x is 1. for one input there is another output. g is not a function

give brainliest

the infinity sign
