Homework Statement
Use a series expansion ψ=A0x0+A1x1+A2x2+... to determine the three lowest-order wave functions for a harmonic oscillator with spring constant k and mass m, and show that the engergies are the expected values.
Homework Equations
Series expansion given above
Time independent Schrodinger's equation
The Attempt at a Solution
I am not familiar with series expansion. Asking others in the class, we got as far as what is in the picture, where we took the function for a harmonic oscillator F=-kx and substituted it for U in Schrodinger's Equation.
