    Find general solution from recurrence relation, done most of work

    yes I do, thank you very much. So to get y2 all i have to do is change from r=0 to r=1/2 and keep ao=1 and a1=0 right?

    Differential equations, I can't understand a textbook example.

    Thank you guys for helping me clarify what I've been doing wrong. The series needs to be expanded around xo=1 so it becomes (x-1) from (x-xo). I've tried doing the work over again and this is what i obtained: y=sum (n=0 to infinity) an (x-1)^n y= ao+a1(x-1)+a2(x-1)^2+a3(x-1)^3...an(x-1)^n...
