By letting

we get derivatives


a) Substitute these into the differential equation. After a lot of simplification, the equation reduces to

Examine the lowest degree term
, which gives rise to the indicial equation,

with roots at r = 0 and r = 4/5.
b) The recurrence for the coefficients
is

so that with r = 4/5, the coefficients are governed by

c) Starting with
, we find


so that the first three terms of the solution are

You would multiply the cups of flour by 3 and the cups of water by 3. which would give you 9 cups of flour and 6 cups of water. the ratio is 1.5 cups of flour to 1 cup of water.
You have to find the common denominator which is 4 and multiply 26 by 4 which equals 104 add 3 which is 107 and divide by 4
Answer:107/4
X= -1
Use trial and error method
When you substitute x=-1 you will get 0 as the answer..!
