Power Series Differential equation

The next step is to solve the recurrence, but let's back up a bit. You should have found that the ODE in terms of the power series expansion for y

\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge2}\bigg((n-3)(n-2)a_n+(n+3)(n+2)a_{n+3}\bigg)x^{n+1}+2a_2+(6a_0-6a_3)x+(6a_1-12a_4)x^2=0

which indeed gives the recurrence you found,

a_{n+3}=-\dfrac{n-3}{n+3}a_n

but in order to get anywhere with this, you need at least three initial conditions. The constant term tells you that a_2=0, and substituting this into the recurrence, you find that a_2=a_5=a_8=\cdots=a_{3k-1}=0 for all k\ge1.

Next, the linear term tells you that 6a_0+6a_3=0, or a_3=a_0.

Now, if a_0 is the first term in the sequence, then by the recurrence you have

a_3=a_0
a_6=-\dfrac{3-3}{3+3}a_3=0
a_9=-\dfrac{6-3}{6+3}a_6=0

and so on, such that a_{3k}=0 for all k\ge2.

Finally, the quadratic term gives 6a_1-12a_4=0, or a_4=\dfrac12a_1. Then by the recurrence,

a_4=\dfrac12a_1
a_7=-\dfrac{4-3}{4+3}a_4=\dfrac{(-1)^1}2\dfrac17a_1
a_{10}=-\dfrac{7-3}{7+3}a_7=\dfrac{(-1)^2}2\dfrac4{10\times7}a_1
a_{13}=-\dfrac{10-3}{10+3}a_{10}=\dfrac{(-1)^3}2\dfrac{7\times4}{13\times10\times7}a_1

and so on, such that

a_{3k-2}=\dfrac{a_1}2\displaystyle\prod_{i=1}^{k-2}(-1)^{2i-1}\frac{3i-2}{3i+4}

for all k\ge2.

Now, the solution was proposed to be

y=\displaystyle\sum_{n\ge0}a_nx^n

so the general solution would be

y=a_0+a_1x+a_2x^2+a_3x^3+a_4x^4+a_5x^5+a_6x^6+\cdots
y=a_0(1+x^3)+a_1\left(x+\dfrac12x^4-\dfrac1{14}x^7+\cdots\right)
y=a_0(1+x^3)+a_1\displaystyle\left(x+\sum_{n=2}^\infty\left(\prod_{i=1}^{n-2}(-1)^{2i-1}\frac{3i-2}{3i+4}\right)x^{3n-2}\right)

What is the median of the data below?<br><br> 45, 19, 23, 67, 28, 35, 46, 21, 58, 60, 23, 51
VLD [36.1K]
To find the median, you will need to list the data from least to greatest and find the middle number.

19, 21, 23, 23, 28, 35, 45, 46, 51, 58, 60, 67

Cross out a number on both sides until you reach the middle number. In this case, we are left with 2 numbers that are in the middle since there is an even amount of numbers. 

When you reach the time where you have two middle numbers, we have to find the average of those two numbers. Our two middle numbers are 35 and 45. Since we have to find the average of those two numbers, we can add them. (35 + 45 = 80). Now, since we have two middle numbers, we have to divide them by 2. 
80 \div 2 = 40

Answer: \fbox {Median = 40}

If we look at the rest of the input and output, we also realize that:

         output = input + 5

Thus if the input is 'n' then the output is 'n+5'

Hope that helps!
