<OP warned about not using the homework template>
Obtain a series solution of the differential equation x(x − 1)y" + [5x − 1]y' + 4y = 0Do I start by solving it normally then getting a series for the solution or assume y=power series differentiate then add up the series?
I did the latter and got three different but (slightly similar) looking series and the problem asks to group them all into one series which I cannot do
