Homework Statement



Show that y= xex satisfi es

A(d2y)/dx2 + B(dy/dx) + Cy = 0

for suitably chosen values of the constants A, B, and C.

Homework Equations



Y=xex

Please see the attachment. I get to a point where I need to find the value of A, B and C but cannot as I'm dealing with x2 terms.

Help would be much appreciated.
