Answer

$y=C_{0}\times e^{x}$

Work Step by Step

$y' - y = 0$ By using $y=\Sigma^\infty_{n=1}C_{n}\times x^{n}$ Find the derivative $y'=\Sigma^\infty_{n=1}C_{n}\times n \times x^{n-1}$ $y'=\Sigma^\infty_{n=0}C_{n+1}\times (n+1) \times x^{n}$ Fill in for the original equation: $\Sigma^\infty_{n=0}C_{n+1}\times (n+1) \times x^{n}$ - $\Sigma^\infty_{n=1}C_{n}\times x^{n}=0$ Make into one sum $\Sigma^\infty_{n=0}(C_{n+1}\times (n+1) - C_{n})=0$ Fill some values for $n$ to determine the coefficients. $n=0 : C_{1} = C_{0}$ $n=1 : C_{2} = \frac{1}{2}C_{0}=0$ $n=2 : C_{3} = \frac{1}{3}\times\frac{1}{2}C_{0}=0$ $C_{n} = \frac{1}{n!}C_{0}$ Notice: $y=\Sigma^\infty_{n=0} \frac{x^n}{n!} \times e^{x}$ $y=C_{0}\Sigma^\infty_{n=0} \frac{1}{n!} \times x^{n}$ $y=C_{0}\times e^{x}$
