Thank you HallsofIvy for your help! The polynomial equation for r that you get when you plug in y = x^{r} and try to solve the differential equation is: r_{1}, r_{2} = \frac{-(\alpha-1) \pm \sqrt{(\alpha-1)^{2}-4\beta}}{2} where r1 and r2 can be real and different, real and equal, or...

Hi everyone :D This is my problem: Find conditions on \alpha and \beta in the Euler equation x^{2}y'' + \alphaxy' + \betay = 0 such that: a) All solutions approach zero as x \rightarrow 0 b) All solutions are bounded as x \rightarrow 0 c) All solutions approach zero as x \rightarrow\infty I...

I see it just fine but I don't know enough to help sorry

Thanks a lot for the help guys. Usually when I try and solve a problem I sort of organize the steps in my head--but like I said, because of time pressure it's difficult to think it through completely so I just start writing down equations and calculating them so as not to lose any time and let...

Hello everyone--first post--thank you for having me this seems like an awesome place :biggrin: I'm not totally sure where to post this since it's a general problem solving question but basically I want to be able to solve physics and math problems in a shorter period of time. Aside from the...
