Now if the opposite were true and I was trying to drop the power of x's by 1: example: (x^3)d^{2}y/dx^{2}+(x^2)dy/dx+(x^3)y=0 Could I then instead divide by x to come up with: (x^2)d^{2}y/dx^{2}+(x)dy/dx+(x^2)y=0 with the understanding that the solution to the resulting Bessel function...

Homework Statement I am attempting to solve the 2nd order ODE as follows using the generalized solution to the Bessel's equation Homework Equations original ODE: xd^{2}y/dx^{2}-3dy/dx+xy=0 The Attempt at a Solution My first thought is to bring out an x^-1 outside of the function so...
