The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "reduction_of_order", "second_order_ode_non_constant_coeff_transformation_on_B"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[_Laguerre]
\[ \boxed {x y^{\prime \prime }-\left (x +1\right ) y^{\prime }+y=0} \] Given that one solution of the ode is \begin {align*} y_1 &= {\mathrm e}^{x} \end {align*}
Given one basis solution \(y_{1}\left (x \right )\), then the second basis solution is given by \[ y_{2}\left (x \right ) = y_{1} \left (\int \frac {{\mathrm e}^{-\left (\int p d x \right )}}{y_{1}^{2}}d x \right ) \] Where \(p(x)\) is the coefficient of \(y^{\prime }\) when the ode is written in the normal form \[ y^{\prime \prime }+p \left (x \right ) y^{\prime }+q \left (x \right ) y = f \left (x \right ) \] Looking at the ode to solve shows that \[ p \left (x \right ) = \frac {-x -1}{x} \] Therefore \begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (\int {\mathrm e}^{-\left (\int \frac {-x -1}{x}d x \right )} {\mathrm e}^{-2 x}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= {\mathrm e}^{x} \int \frac {{\mathrm e}^{x +\ln \left (x \right )}}{{\mathrm e}^{2 x}} , dx \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (\int x \,{\mathrm e}^{-x}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= -{\mathrm e}^{x} \left (x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-x} \\ \end{align*} Hence the solution is \begin{align*} y &= c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \\ &= {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{1} -c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-x} \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{1} -c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-x} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = {\mathrm e}^{x} c_{1} -c_{2} {\mathrm e}^{x} \left (x +1\right ) {\mathrm e}^{-x} \] Verified OK.
