Homework Statement


I need to solve:
x^2y''-4xy'+6y=x^3, x>0, y(1)=3, y'(1)=9

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


Handwritten solution of the Euler-Cauchy ODE x^2 y'' - 4xy' + 6y = x^3 by variation of parameters, with the auxiliary equation, homogeneous solution, and initial conditions y(1)=3, y'(1)=9 written out.


I know that the answer is: y=x^2+2x^3+x^3lnx
Where did I go wrong. I was wondering if it's even logical to solve it as an Euler Cauchy and then use variation of parameters...
