5.
Solve the given nonhomogeneous Cauchy-Euler ODE.

Hint #1: Formulate the general solution as a sum of the complimentary solution (solution to the
associated homogeneous ODE) + a particular solution (any parameter free solution, linearly
independent of the functions in your complimentary solution). Hint #2: Only one of your
two learned methods to find particular solutions can cater towards an ODE's w/ variable
coefficients...
y(x)=(c1)*x+ (c2)*(x^(-1/2))+(1/3)*(-3*(x^2)-2*x+3*x*log(x))
