$$x y^{\prime \prime}+(x+2) y^{\prime}-y=0$$
In Problems \(29-34\), determine the Taylor series about the point \(x_{0}\) for the given functions and values of \(x_{0} .\) \(f(x)=\cos x, \quad x_{0}=\pi\)
The equation $$x y^{\prime \prime}(x)+(1-x) y^{\prime}(x)+n y(x)=0$$ where \(n\) is a nonnegative integer, is called Laguerre's differential equation. Show that for each \(n,\) this equation has a polynomial solution of degree \(n .\) These polynomials are denoted by \(L_{n}(x)\) and are called Laguerre polynomials. The first few Laguerre polynomials are $$\begin{aligned} L_{0}(x) &=1, \quad L_{1}(x)=-x+1 \\ L_{2}(x) &=x^{2}-4 x+2 \end{aligned}$$
\(9 t^{2} x^{\prime \prime}+9 t x^{\prime}+\left(9 t^{2}-4\right) x=0\)
