TUTORIAL6-WEEK 6-Series Solution-Near Infinity

The document provides instructions for solving a second order linear homogeneous differential equation as x approaches infinity using a series solution. Students are asked to: [1] Rewrite the differential equation using the substitution z=1/x^2 to put it in standard form; [2] Assume a series solution of the form Σanzr+n as z approaches 0 and obtain the first four nonzero terms of the two linearly independent series solutions.
