The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "higher_order_missing_y"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_3rd_order, _missing_y]]
\[ \boxed {y^{\prime \prime \prime } x^{2}+6 y^{\prime \prime } x +6 y^{\prime }=0} \] Since \(y\) is missing from the ode then we can use the substitution \(y^{\prime } = v \left (x \right )\) to reduce the order by one. The ODE becomes \begin {align*} v^{\prime \prime }\left (x \right ) x^{2}+6 v^{\prime }\left (x \right ) x +6 v \left (x \right ) = 0 \end {align*}
This is Euler second order ODE. Let the solution be \(v \left (x \right ) = x^r\), then \(v'=r x^{r-1}\) and \(v''=r(r-1) x^{r-2}\). Substituting these back into the given ODE gives \[ x^{2}(r(r-1))x^{r-2}+6 x r x^{r-1}+6 x^{r} = 0 \] Simplifying gives \[ r \left (r -1\right )x^{r}+6 r\,x^{r}+6 x^{r} = 0 \] Since \(x^{r}\neq 0\) then dividing throughout by \(x^{r}\) gives \[ r \left (r -1\right )+6 r+6 = 0 \] Or \[ r^{2}+5 r +6 = 0 \tag {1} \] Equation (1) is the characteristic equation. Its roots determine the form of the general solution. Using the quadratic equation the roots are \begin {align*} r_1 &= -3\\ r_2 &= -2 \end {align*}
Since the roots are real and distinct, then the general solution is \[ v \left (x \right )= c_{1} v_1 + c_{2} v_2 \] Where \(v_1 = x^{r_1}\) and \(v_2 = x^{r_2} \). Hence \[ v \left (x \right ) = \frac {c_{1}}{x^{3}}+\frac {c_{2}}{x^{2}} \] But since \(y^{\prime } = v \left (x \right )\) then we now need to solve the ode \(y^{\prime } = \frac {c_{1}}{x^{3}}+\frac {c_{2}}{x^{2}}\). Integrating both sides gives \begin {align*} y &= \int { \frac {c_{2} x +c_{1}}{x^{3}}\,\mathop {\mathrm {d}x}}\\ &= -\frac {2 c_{2} x +c_{1}}{2 x^{2}}+c_{3} \end {align*}
Summary
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= -\frac {2 c_{2} x +c_{1}}{2 x^{2}}+c_{3} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = -\frac {2 c_{2} x +c_{1}}{2 x^{2}}+c_{3} \] Verified OK.
