Text Transcription:
x^4 y^prime prime+x^3 y^prime-4 x^2 y=1
ANSWER:Step 1 of 3
To solve this problem, we use the method Reduction of Order we learnt in section 42 We first write the equation in the standard form by dividing by to get
If , then the Product Rule gives
Substituting and in the associated homogeneous equation gives
