Find the general solution of the differential equation
Answer:
where
if and is even,
if and is odd,
, and is an arbitrary constant.

Choose your answer so that .

Note: Because the coefficient of is zero when , you will not find two linearly independent solutions of the differential equation defined near . In fact, by looking at the differential equation, you can see that any solution defined on an open interval containing must have .
