Given a solution 
, we can attempt to find another via reduction of order of the form 
. This has derivatives
Substituting into the ODE yields
Now letting
, so that 
, you end up with the ODE linear in 
Assuming
(which is reasonable, since 
is a singular point), you can divide through by 
and end up with
and integrating both sides with respect to
gives
Back-substitute to solve for
:
and again to solve for
:
Alternatively, you can solve this ODE from scratch by employing the Euler substitution (which works because this equation is of the Cauchy-Euler type),
. You'll arrive at the same solution, but it doesn't hurt to know there's more than one way to solve this.
