Dear All,

I am having a problem finding the solution for this eq:

y''(x)+(2/x)y'(x)+(w^2)y(x)=0

I know it is quite elementary! any pointers will be much appreciated!

thanks

Hi !

The change of function y(x) = f(x)/x will transform the ODE into a very simple linear ODE with constant coefficients.
