Homework Statement



[tex]\epsilon[/tex][tex]\frac{d^{2}u}{dx^{2}}[/tex] +[tex]\frac{du}{dx}[/tex] + e-x = 0

0<x<1
u(0)=0
u(1)=1

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



i want to find the inner solution first
i used the substitution x=[tex]\epsilon[/tex]2y

i put that in the equation:

[tex]\epsilon[/tex][tex]\frac{1}{\epsilon}^2n[/tex]u'' +[tex]\frac{1}{\epsilon}^n[/tex]u' +[tex]\epsilon[/tex]^n y = 0
now i have to pick a value for n... how do i do that?

epsilon is not meant to be floating that... sorry just imagine it's in line, any help would be much appreciated thanks in advance!
