Finding the G.S.(for equal roots) of the Euler-Cauchy diff. equation

[rock.freak667]

Homework Statement

x^2\frac{d^2y}{dx^2}+ax\frac{dy}{dx}+by=0

show that if there is one real double root of the aux. eq'n show that the G.S. is given by

y=c_1x^{n_1}+c_2x^{n_1}ln(x)

Homework Equations

Assume the trial solution y=x^n

The Attempt at a Solution

y=x^n<br /> \frac{dy}{dx}=nx^{n-1}<br /> \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=n(n-1)x^{n-2}<br /> <br /> =&gt; n(n-1)x^n + anx^n +bx^n =n^2-(a-1)n+b=0 (Aux. Eq&#039;n)

for equal roots (a-1)^2-4b=0

therefore n=\frac{1-a}{2}
hence one solution is y=x^\frac{1-a}{2}

so the other solution is y=vx^\frac{1-a}{2}<br /> <br /> \frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{dv}[dx}x^\frac{1-a}+ \frac{1-a}{2}Vx^\frac{-a-1}{2}<br /> \frac{d^2y}{dx^2}=\frac{d^2v}{dx^2}x^\frac{-1-a}{2} + (1-a)\frac{dv}{dx}x^\frac{-1-a}{2} -\frac{1-a^2}{4}vx^\frac{-a-3}{2}

sub. into the diff. eq'n...(this is where I think I am wrong)
(This is what I get)
\frac{d^2v}{dx^2}x^\frac{3-a}{2} + \frac{dv}{dx}x^\frac{3-a}{2} +\frac{vx^\frac{1-a}{2}((a-1)^2+4b)}{4}

Now I was hoping to get (a-1)^2-4b in the last term there so that it would be zero but I apparently did something wrong..where did I go wrong?
