Question

A homogeneous second order Euler Equation has the general form ax^2y'' + bxy' + cy = 0, where a, b and c are constants. Use the guess y = x^r to find the general solution to the following specific case x^2y'' + 4xy' + 2y = 0. This method has a lot of parallels to the method of constant coefficients developed in the videos.
