Graph the function in your head...as it approaches 2 the denominator (x-2) term goes to zero, so the function goes to infinity. Hence the area under the curve also goes to infininity (diverges).

Homework Statement Find two power series solutions of the DE (x+2)y'' + xy' - y = 0 about the ordinary point x = 0 . Include at least first four nonzero terms for each of the solutions. 2. The attempt at a solution I distributed the y'' term and substituted y = Ʃ0inf cnxn...

Thanks for the reply. 1. Can I still use NSL for the rotation about the center of mass? (i.e. t = Ia) 2. Can I pick a random reference point, find the torque of the force about that point, get angular acceleration about that point, and use [a-trans = a-rot * r] to get the linear acceleration?

Homework Statement A perpendicular force F acts on the tip of a thin rod of length L and mass M in the ij-plane which is not fixed. What is the translational and rotational acceleration of the rod about the center of the rod? Homework Equations At first it seems like an easy problem...
