Thread: Euler Equations

An equation of the form where and are real constants, is called a Euler equation. The substitution transforms a Euler equation into an equation with constant coefficients.
Solve the given equation for using a variable substitution:

I have one of these questions for my homework assignment, but we never actually did a question like this in class. How would I make this substitution, I can handle the question after it is turned into an equation with constant coefficients. Thanks.

anyone?
