(1 point) If the series $y(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_n x^n$ is a solution of the differential equation $2y'' - 5xy = 0$, then $c_{n+2} = \frac{5}{2(n+2)(n+1)} c_n$, $n = 1, 2, \dots$ A general solution of the same equation can be written as $y(x) = c_0 y_1(x) + c_1 y_2(x)$, where $y_1(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^{3n}$, $a_0 = 1$, $y_2(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} b_n x^{3n+1}$, $b_0 = 1$ Calculate $a_1 = $ $a_2 = $ $a_3 = $ $b_1 = $ $b_2 = $ $b_3 = $

If the series $y(x)=sum_{n=0}^{infty}c_n x^n$ is a solution of the differential equation $2y''-x^2 y'+2y=0$, then $c_{n+2} = frac{(n-2)c_n}{2(n+1)(n+2)}, n=0,1,2,dots$ A general solution of the same equation can be written as $y(x)=c_0 y_1(x)+c_1 y_2(x)$, where $y_1(x)=1+sum_{n=2}^{infty} a_n x^n$, $y_2(x)=x+sum_{n=2}^{infty} b_n x^n$, Calculate $a_2=$ , $a_3=$ , $a_4=$ , $b_2=$ , $b_3=$ , $b_4=$ .

Solve the differential equation below using series methods: y'' - 4xy' + 2y = 0, y(0) = 1, y'(0) = 3 The first few terms of the series solution are: y = a0 + a1x + a2x^2 + a3x^3 + a4x^4 Where: a0 = a1 = a2 = a3 = a4 =
