    Default Differential Equations, a wolframalpha stumper ;)

    hey guys:
    x^2y''-(x^2+2x)y'+(x+2)y=x^3

    Any help? Wolfram gives me a "no step by step available"

    (yes please hold my hand)

    is the first term x^(2*y'') or (x^2)*y'' ? if it's (x^2)*y'' it's y=-x^2; y'= -2x; y'' =-2

    Infractions, reputation, reflection, the dark side of scripting, they are.
