Math 257/316, Midterm 1, Section 101/102 8 October 2010 Instructions. The exam lasts 55 minutes. Calculators are not allowed. A formula sheet is attached. 1. Consider the ODE 2 x 2 y 00 + ( x + α ) y 0 - ( x + 1) y = 0 , in which α is a constant. (a) Classify the point x = 0 (as ordinary point, regular singular point, or irregular singular point) depending on the value of α . [5 marks] (b) For α = 0, find two independent solutions (for x > 0) in the form of series about x = 0 (you need only write the first three non-zero terms in each solution). [20 marks] 1
