Answer

$c_0\Sigma^\infty_{n=0} \dfrac{x^{3n}}{3^n n!}=c_{0} e^{x^3/3}$

Work Step by Step

Here, $y=\Sigma^\infty_{n=0}C_{n} x^{n}$ This gives: $y'=\Sigma^\infty_{n=1}n C_n x^{n-1}$ Now, $y' =x^2y$ $\Sigma^\infty_{n=1}nC_{n} x^{n-1}= x^2[ \Sigma^\infty_{n=0}C_{n}x^{n}]$ $\implies \Sigma^\infty_{n=2}C_{n+1}(n+1)x^{n}-\Sigma^\infty_{n=0}C_{n}x^{n+2}=0$ $\implies C_1+2C_2x+\Sigma^{2}_{n=0}((n+1)-C_{n-2}) x^{n}=0$ n=2 : $C_{3} =\dfrac{C_{0}}{3}$; n=3: $C_{4} = \dfrac{C_{1}}{4}=0$; n=8 : $C_{9} = (\dfrac{1}{9}) \times (\dfrac{1}{6}) \times \dfrac{C_0}{3}=0$ The pattern gives: $C_{3n} = \dfrac{1}{3^n n!}C_0$ Since, $ \Sigma^\infty_{n=0} \dfrac{x^n}{n!}=e^{x} $ Thus, we get $y=C_0\Sigma^\infty_{n=0} \dfrac{x^{3n}}{3^n n!}$ or, $y=C_{0} e^{x^3/3}$
