\(x(1-x) y^{\prime \prime}+(1-3 x) y^{\prime}-y=0\)
$$\left(x^{2}-4\right) y^{\prime \prime}+(x+2) y^{\prime}+3 y=0$$
\(f(x)=\frac{1+x}{1-x}, \quad x_{0}=0\)
(a) Construct the Taylor polynomial \(p_{3}(x)\) of degree 3 for the function \(f(x)=1 /(2-x)\) around \(x=0\) $$$$(b) Using the error formula (6), show that $$ \left|f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)-p_{3}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right|=\left|\frac{2}{3}-p_{3}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right| \leq \frac{2}{3^{5}}$$ $$$$(c) Compare the estimate in part (b) with the actual error $$ \left|\frac{2}{3}-p_{3}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\right| $$ $$$$(d) Sketch the graphs of \(1 /(2-x)\) and \(p_{3}(x)\) (on the same axes) for \(-2\)<\(x\)<\(2\)
Classify each singular point (real or complex) of the given equation as regular or irregular. $$ \left(x^{2}+2 x-8\right)^{2} y^{\prime \prime}+(3 x+12) y^{\prime}-x^{2} y=0 $$
