I'm trying to solve:



$xy''+(5-x)y'-y=0$



using frobenius method, which I'm keep getting a wrong answer.



can someone explain how to solve this problem?



Also, are there any sources I can refer to? I really need some good instructions to followw

          Hint: With writing
          $$y''+dfrac{5-x}{x}y'-dfrac{1}{x}y=0$$
          we see $x=0$ is regular point of the equation, since $p(x)=dfrac{5-x}{x}$ and $q(x)=-dfrac{1}{x}$, then
          $$p_0=lim_{xto0}xp(x)=5~~~;~~~q_0=lim_{xto0}x^2q(x)=0$$
          the characteristic equation $m(m-1)+p_0m+q_0=0$ shows we have $m=0,-4$. One may work with a solution of the form
          $$y=x^{-4}sum_{ngeqslant0}a_nx^n$$
