ECW 2: Problem 4 (1 point) Assume that $y$ is the solution of the initial-value problem $y' + y = \begin{cases} \frac{2\sin x}{x} & x \neq 0\\ 2 & x = 0 \end{cases}$, $y(0) = 1$. If $y$ is written as a power series $y = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_n x^n$, then y = 1 + 1x + $x^2$ + $x^3$ + $x^4$ + ... Note: You do not have to find a general expression for $c_n$. Just find the coefficients one by one.

(1 point)
Assume that $y$ is the solution of the initial-value problem
$y' + y = \begin{cases} \frac{2\sin x}{x} & x \neq 0\\ 2 & x = 0 \end{cases}$, $y(0) = 1$.
If $y$ is written as a power series
$y = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} c_n x^n$,
then
y = 1 + 1x +  $x^2$ +  $x^3$ +  $x^4$ + ...
Note: You do not have to find a general expression for $c_n$. Just find the coefficients one by one.

ECW 2: Problem 4
(1 point)
Assume that y is the solution of the initial-value problem
y' + y = (2sin x)/(x) x ≠ 0
2 x = 0, y(0) = 1.
If y is written as a power series
y = ∑n=0^∞ cn x^n,
then
y = 1 + 1x + x^2 + x^3 + x^4 + ...
Note: You do not have to find a general expression for cn. Just find the coefficients one by one.

Step 1

Substituting $x = 0$ into the power series for $y$, we get $$1 = y(0) = c_0.$$ Show more…
