Question
![**Problem Statement:**
Use the method of Frobenius and the larger indicial root to find the first four nonzero terms in the series expansion about \( x = 0 \) for a solution to the given equation for \( x > 0 \).
\[ 36x^2 y'' + 18x^2 y' + 5y = 0 \]
**Question:**
What are the first four terms for the series?
**Solution:**
\[ y(x) = \boxed{\phantom{a}} + \cdots \]
(Type an expression in terms of \( a_0 \).)
**Explanation:**
In this problem, we are asked to solve a second-order linear differential equation using the method of Frobenius. The goal is to find the series solution about \( x = 0 \) by identifying the first four nonzero terms. The method of Frobenius involves assuming a solution of the form:
\[ y(x) = x^r \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n x^n \]
where \( r \) is the indicial root. By substituting this form into the differential equation, we can find a recurrence relation for the coefficients \( a_n \). The larger indicidual root is used to identify the terms.](https://content.bartleby.com/qna-images/question/62cf0025-2a72-406a-bc17-39c2a0537bca/b3d19770-c0e7-4ba0-a15a-77de3c0dbcd5/yu8bxbm_thumbnail.png)
