Let

Differentiating twice gives


When x = 0, we observe that y(0) = a₀ and y'(0) = a₁ can act as initial conditions.
Substitute these into the given differential equation:


Then the coefficients in the power series solution are governed by the recurrence relation,

Since the n-th coefficient depends on the (n - 2)-th coefficient, we split n into two cases.
• If n is even, then n = 2k for some integer k ≥ 0. Then




It should be easy enough to see that

• If n is odd, then n = 2k + 1 for some k ≥ 0. Then




so that

So, the overall series solution is

Answer: -a > -b</h3>
Explanation:
Let's go over an example.
We'll have a = 1 and b = 7 which makes a < b true. Feel free to pick your own favorite pair of numbers such that b is larger than 'a'.
The corresponding opposites are: -a = -1 and -b = -7
The relationship flips because the opposites of each number are flipped. So instead of saying -a < -b, we have -a > -b
Sure enough, -1 > -7 is a true statement. Use a number line to see this. I recommend a vertical number line.
In short, going from a < b to -a > -b means we flip the signs of each term, and we flip the inequality sign as well.
Answer: 1
Step-by-step explanation:
8 yellow / 8 total = 8/8 = 1
(x+3)(x-3)
x*x=x^2
x*-3=-3x
3*x=3x
3*-3=-9
where’s where he most likely messed up
x^2-3x+3x-9
the correct answer is x^-9
