Series Solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations For the
following problems solve the given differential equation by means
of a power series about the given point x0. Find the recurrence
relation; also find the first four terms in each of two linearly
independent solutions (unless the series terminates sooner). If
possible, find the general term in each solution.

An object is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 1960 cm/s. neglecting air resistance, find a) the maximum height reached, and b) the total time is taken to return to the starting point.
Solve the following problems.
a) What is the order of the differential equation ? ′ = ? 2 − 3?
− 10? Is it linear ?
b) Determine whether the differential equation ? ′ = ? 2 − 3? −
10 possesses constant solutions. If yes find these constant
solutions.
c) Find the value(s) of ? so that the function ? = ? ?? is a
solution of ? ′′ − 3? ′ − 10? = 0.
