The type(s) of ODE detected by this program : "reduction_of_order", "second_order_euler_ode", "second_order_change_of_variable_on_x_method_1", "second_order_change_of_variable_on_x_method_2", "second_order_change_of_variable_on_y_method_2", "second_order_ode_non_constant_coeff_transformation_on_B"
Maple gives the following as the ode type
[[_Emden, _Fowler], [_2nd_order, _linear, `_with_symmetry_[0,F(x)]`]]
\[ \boxed {2 x^{2} y^{\prime \prime }-y^{\prime } x +y=0} \] Given that one solution of the ode is \begin {align*} y_1 &= 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 \[ p \left (x \right ) = -\frac {1}{2 x} \] Therefore \begin{align*} y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \left (\int \frac {{\mathrm e}^{-\left (\int -\frac {1}{2 x}d x \right )}}{x^{2}}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \int \frac {\sqrt {x}}{x^{2}} , dx \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= x \left (\int \frac {1}{x^{\frac {3}{2}}}d x \right ) \\ y_{2}\left (x \right ) &= -2 \sqrt {x} \\ \end{align*} Hence the solution is \begin{align*} y &= c_{1} y_{1}\left (x \right )+c_{2} y_{2}\left (x \right ) \\ &= c_{1} x -2 c_{2} \sqrt {x} \\ \end{align*}
The solution(s) found are the following \begin{align*} \tag{1} y &= c_{1} x -2 c_{2} \sqrt {x} \\ \end{align*}
Verification of solutions
\[ y = c_{1} x -2 c_{2} \sqrt {x} \] Verified OK.
