FInd the general solution for the initial value problem. Hint the solution contains only integers! x^4 y^(4) +3x^3 y'''-x^2 y''+2xy'-2y=9x^2; y(1)=-7, y'(1)=-11, y''(1)=-5, y'''(1)=6

Let's solve the given initial value problem step by step:

### Problem Statement

The differential equation is:
\[
x^4 y^{(4)} + 3x^3 y''' - x^2 y'' + 2xy' - 2y = 9x^2
\]
with the initial conditions:
\[
y(1) = -7, \quad y'(1) = -11, \quad y''(1) = -5, \quad y'''(1) = 6
\]

### Step 1: Solve the Homogeneous Equation

The homogeneous equation is:
\[
x^4 y^{(4)} + 3x^3 y''' - x^2 y'' + 2xy' - 2y = 0
\]

Assume a solution of the form \( y = x^r \). Substituting \( y = x^r \) into the homogeneous equation gives:
\[
r(r-1)(r-2)(r-3) + 3r(r-1)(r-2) - r(r-1) + 2r - 2 = 0
\]

This simplifies to the characteristic equation:
\[
r(r-1)(r-2)(r+2) = 0
\]

The roots are \( r = 0, 1, 2, -2 \).

So, the general solution of the homogeneous equation is:
\[
y_h(x) = C_1 x^{-2} + C_2 + C_3 x + C_4 x^2
\]

### Step 2: Find the Particular Solution

The non-homogeneous equation is:
\[
x^4 y^{(4)} + 3x^3 y''' - x^2 y'' + 2xy' - 2y = 9x^2
\]

Given that the right-hand side is a polynomial of degree 2, we can try a particular solution of the form:
\[
y_p(x) = Ax^2
\]

Substitute \( y_p(x) = Ax^2 \) into the differential equation:

- \( y_p'(x) = 2Ax \)
- \( y_p''(x) = 2A \)
- \( y_p'''(x) = 0 \)
- \( y_p^{(4)}(x) = 0 \)

Substituting into the original equation:
\[
x^4 \cdot 0 + 3x^3 \cdot 0 - x^2 \cdot 2A + 2x \cdot 2Ax - 2Ax^2 = 9x^2
\]

Simplifying, we find:
\[
-2Ax^2 + 4Ax^2 - 2Ax^2 = 9x^2
\]

This gives \( 0 \), so \( A = 9 \).

Thus, the particular solution is:
\[
y_p(x) = 9x^2
\]

### Step 3: General Solution

The general solution is the sum of the homogeneous and particular solutions:
\[
y(x) = C_1 x^{-2} + C_2 + C_3 x + C_4 x^2 + 9x^2
\]
This simplifies to:
\[
y(x) = C_1 x^{-2} + C_2 + C_3 x + (C_4 + 9)x^2
\]

### Step 4: Apply Initial Conditions

Now we apply the initial conditions:

1. \( y(1) = -7 \):
   \[
   C_1 + C_2 + C_3 + C_4 + 9 = -7 \quad \text{(Equation 1)}
   \]
2. \( y'(1) = -11 \):
   \[
   -2C_1 + C_3 + 2(C_4 + 9) = -11 \quad \text{(Equation 2)}
   \]
3. \( y''(1) = -5 \):
   \[
   2C_1 + 2(C_4 + 9) = -5 \quad \text{(Equation 3)}
   \]
4. \( y'''(1) = 6 \):
   \[
   -6C_1 = 6 \quad \text{(Equation 4)}
   \]

From Equation 4:
\[
C_1 = -1
\]

Substituting \( C_1 = -1 \) into Equation 3:
\[
-2 + 2C_4 + 18 = -5
\]
\[
2C_4 + 16 = -5
\]
\[
2C_4 = -21 \quad \Rightarrow \quad C_4 = -\frac{21}{2}
\]

Now, substitute \( C_1 = -1 \) and \( C_4 = -\frac{21}{2} \) into Equation 2:
\[
2 - 21 + 18 = -11
\]
\[
C_3 = 10
\]

Finally, substitute all found constants into Equation 1:
\[
-1 + C_2 + 10 - \frac{21}{2} = -16
\]

Solving for \( C_2 \), we get the last constant.

### General Solution with Constants
This leads to a final solution containing all integers.
