this is my final exam question, I can't figure how to start
thx for your help


" Obtain the solution of the following differential equation in the form of bessel equation;

[tex]x^2\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + \frac{1}{8}{x}\frac{dy}{dx} + (k^4x^8-6)y=0[/tex] "

yes I couldn't do this in exam, I try it in two way


* [tex]y= \sum_{n=\zero}^\infty C_nx^{(n+r)}}[/tex] from this I found [tex]\frac {dy}{dx} and \frac {d^2y}{dx^2}[/tex] and put them to equection and go on with frobenius method but I couldn't find "r" becouse of too many indicial equations so I couldn't find the method to recurrance equation and go on...


*I try to make the equation similar to [tex]x^2\frac{d^2 y}{dx^2} + {x}\frac{dy}{dx} + (\beta x^2 - n^2)y=0[/tex] so then I could write [tex]y(x) = AJ_{n}(\beta x) + BY_{n}(\beta x)[/tex] is the solution;

I try to put [tex]y=x^\alpha t[/tex] also [tex]t=x^\alpha with \frac {dy}{dx}=\frac {dy}{dt}*\frac{dt}{dx}[/tex] ,but couldn'tmake it similar

can you give me a way to strat

I found some example questions with reducing equations and answers, also find my problem's reducing equations;(from KREYSZIG -advanced engineering mathematics)
thx
