QUESTION:

In each of 33 through 37, use the results of to determine whether the point at infinity is an ordinary point, a regular singular point, or an irregular singular point of the given differential equation. (1 x2) y__ 2xy_ + ( + 1) y = 0 (Legendre equation)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

We need to determine if the point at infinity is an ordinary point, a regular singular point, or an irregular singular point of the differential equation:

                                                        …….(1)

First we need to substitute  into a differential equation.

Now substituted differential equation will be:

Where,

,  and .

From equation(1) we have,

,  and .

Hence, we will get:
