Question
solve the initial value problem. first make a substitution of the form ( t = x - a ), then find a solution ( sum c_{n}t^{n} ) of the transformed differential equation state the guaranteed interval of convergence
( left( - 20 + 10 x - x ^ { 2 }
ight) y ^ { prime prime } - 6 ( x - 5 ) y ^ { prime } - 4 y = 0, y ( 5 ) = 0, y ^ { prime } ( 5 ) = 4 )
( y ( x ) = )
(type any series in summation notation using ( n ) as the index variable and 0 as the starting index)
Step1: Make substitution
Let \(t = x - 5\), then \(x=t + 5\).
First, find the derivatives: \(y'=\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dt}\cdot\frac{dt}{dx}=\frac{dy}{dt}\), \(y''=\frac{d^{2}y}{dx^{2}}=\frac{d^{2}y}{dt^{2}}\)
Substitute \(x=t + 5\) into the differential equation:
The coefficient \(-20 + 10x-x^{2}=-20+10(t + 5)-(t + 5)^{2}\)
The term \(-6(x - 5)=-6t\)
The differential equation becomes \((5 - t^{2})y''-6ty'-4y = 0\)
Assume \(y=\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty}c_{n}t^{n}\), then \(y'=\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}nc_{n}t^{n - 1}\), \(y''=\sum_{n = 2}^{\infty}n(n - 1)c_{n}t^{n - 2}\)
Substitute \(y,y',y''\) into \((5 - t^{2})y''-6ty'-4y = 0\)
Re - index the first sum: Let \(m=n - 2\), then \(n=m + 2\)
\(5\sum_{m = 0}^{\infty}(m + 2)(m + 1)c_{m+2}t^{m}-\sum_{n = 2}^{\infty}n(n - 1)c_{n}t^{n}-6\sum_{n = 1}^{\infty}nc_{n}t^{n}-4\sum_{n = 0}^{\infty}c_{n}t^{n}=0\)
For \(t^{0}\): \(10c_{2}-4c_{0}=0\Rightarrow c_{2}=\frac{2}{5}c_{0}\)
For \(t^{1}\): \(30c_{3}-6c_{1}-4c_{1}=0\Rightarrow30c_{3}-10c_{1}=0\Rightarrow c_{3}=\frac{1}{3}c_{1}\)
For \(t^{n}(n\geq2)\):
Using the initial conditions: When \(x = 5\), \(t = 0\)
\(y(5)=0\Rightarrow c_{0}=0\)
\(y'(5)=4\Rightarrow c_{1}=4\)
Since \(c_{0}=0\), then \(c_{2}=0\), \(c_{3}=\frac{4}{3}\), \(c_{4}=\frac{4 + 4}{5(4+2)}c_{2}=0\), \(c_{5}=\frac{5 + 4}{5(5+2)}c_{3}=\frac{9}{35}\times\frac{4}{3}=\frac{12}{35}\)
In general, when \(n = 2k\) (even), \(c_{2k}=0\)
When \(n = 2k+1\) (odd), \(c_{2k + 1}=\frac{4}{3}\times\frac{5}{5\times4}\times\frac{7}{5\times6}\times\cdots\times\frac{2k + 3}{5\times(2k+2)}\)
Since \(t=x - 5\), \(y = 4\sum_{k = 0}^{\infty}\frac{\prod_{j = 0}^{k}(2j + 3)}{5^{k}(k + 1)(k+2)\cdots(2k + 2)}(x - 5)^{2k+1}\)
For the interval of convergence, we use the ratio test.
Let \(a_{n}\) be the coefficient of \(t^{n}\) in the power - series solution.
For the differential equation \((5 - t^{2})y''-6ty'-4y = 0\), the singular points of the original equation (in terms of \(x\)) are found by setting \(-20 + 10x-x^{2}=0\)
\(x^{2}-10x + 20=0\), \(x=\frac{10\pm\sqrt{100 - 80}}{2}=5\pm\sqrt{5}\)
The distance from \(x = 5\) (where \(t = 0\)) to the nearest singular point is \(\sqrt{5}\). So the interval of convergence is \((5-\sqrt{5},5+\sqrt{5})\)
