Homework Statement
The solution to the initial value problem
x y''(x) + 2y'(x) + xy(x) = 0; y(0)=1, y(0)=0
has derivatives of all orders at x=0 (although this is far from obvious). Use L'Hopitals rule to compute the taylor polynomial of degree 2 approximating this solution.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I attempted divide all terms by x so as to solve for y'' and begin plugging y, y', y'', etc into formula for taylor series. Got stuck at x=0 in the denominators, i guess is where the far from obvious comes in... WWL'HD?
