In Problems 1-10, use a substitution y=xrto find the general solution to the given equation for x>0.
x2y"(x)+6xy'(x)+6y(x)=0
Use the change of variables \(s = \frac{2}{\alpha }\sqrt {\frac{k}{m}} {e^{ - \alpha t/2}}\)to show that the differential equation of the aging spring \(mx'' + k{e^{ - \alpha t}}x = 0\),\(\alpha > 0\)becomes\({s^2}\frac{{{d^2}x}}{{d{s^2}}} + s\frac{{dx}}{{ds}} + {s^2}x = 0\).
Aging spring without damping. In a mass-spring system of aging spring discussed in Problem 30, assume that there is no damping (i.e., b=0), m=1 and k=1. To see the effect of aging consider as positive parameter.
(a) Redo Problem 30with b=0and ηarbitrary but fixed.
(b) Set η =0 in the expansion obtained in part (a). Does this expansion agree with the expansion for the solution to the problem with η=0. [Hint: When η =0 the solution is x(t)=cos t].
Question: In Problems 17-20, find a power series expansion for f'(C), given the expansion for f(x).
