In applying the method of Frobenius, the following

Chapter 8, Problem 47E

(choose chapter or problem)

In applying the method of Frobenius, the following recurrence relation arose:

\(a_{k+1}=15^{7} a_{k} /(k+1)^{9}, k=0,1,2, \ldots\)

(a) Show that the coefficients are given by the formula

\(a_{k}=15^{7} a_{0} /(k !)^{9}, k=0,1,1, \ldots\)

(b) Use the formula obtained in part (a) with \(a_{0}=1\)  to compute 

\(a_{5}, a_{10}, a_{15}, a_{20}, \text { and } a_{25}\) on your computer or calculator. What goes wrong?

(c) Now use the recurrence relation to compute \(a_{k}\) for \(k=1,2,3, \ldots, 25\), assuming \(a_{0}=1\)

(d) What advantage does the recurrence relation have over the formula?
