A third-order differential equation is given;

ax^3 y''' + bx^2 y'' + cxy' + dy = f(x)

a)Generalize the method for the euler equation to the third-order equation
b)Find the general solution of the third order ordinary differential equation for the following coefficients and right hand side function, f(x);

a=1,b=2,c=3,d=4 and f(x)=ln(3x^2) + ln(x) + x^3 + 5

Hi Muratti, Welcome to PF!:smile:

As per forum rules, we require you to first show some attempt at the problem before we assist you.

Stating what is meant by "the method for the euler equation" would be helpful. I know two different methods. Which are you expected to use?>

Actually you can solve with the easiest way.Thanks .
