Let

. Then

and

are two fundamental, linearly independent solution that satisfy


Note that

, so that

. Adding

doesn't change this, since

.
So if we suppose

then substituting

would give

To make sure everything cancels out, multiply the second degree term by

, so that

Then if

, we get

as desired. So one possible ODE would be

(See "Euler-Cauchy equation" for more info)
I would give the answer but there are to many numbers and I don't want you to get confused by the answer I give you
Y=(x+1)(x-4)
this should be correct.
4 + -6 = -2
Hope that helps? Sorry if it doesn’t...
The answer is 139 cubic yards
This mulch will be of cylindrical shape.
The volume (V) of a cylinder is:
V = l · w · h (l - length, w - width, h - height (in our example, height = depth)
It is known:
l = 125 feet
w = 60 feet
h = 6 inches = 0.5 feet
V = l · w · h = 125 · 60 · 0.5 = 3750 feet³
Since 1 cubic foot is 0.037 cubic yards, 3750 cubic feet are 139 cubic yards:
0.037 · 3750 feet³ = 138.75 cubic yards ≈ 139 cubic yards
