Question 1997: One-Point Residual with a Nonzero Second-Order Coefficient

Original question and givens

The integer-coefficient polynomial candidate has ascending-power coefficients=[13, -1, -3, 0]. Exact checks concern only the specified point or initial conditions, not existence, uniqueness or a solution on an entire interval. At x=-1, check a*y''+b*y'+c*y=rhs with a=2≠0, b=-3, c=-1, rhs=43. Give (coefficients, x, y, y', y'', a, b, c, rhs, signed residual, zero?).

Step-by-step derivation

candidate y ascending coefficients=[13, -1, -3, 0]

audit point x=-1

y′ coefficient at degree0 := mul(1, -1)

y′ coefficient at degree0 = -1

y′ coefficient at degree1 := mul(2, -3)

y′ coefficient at degree1 = -6

y′ coefficient at degree2 := mul(3, 0)

y′ coefficient at degree2 = 0

y″ coefficient at degree0 := mul(1, -6)

y″ coefficient at degree0 = -6

y″ coefficient at degree1 := mul(2, 0)

y″ coefficient at degree1 = 0

y ascending coefficients=[13, -1, -3, 0]

evaluate at x=-1

y Horner multiply before degree1 := mul(-3, -1)

y Horner multiply before degree1 = 3

y Horner add degree1 := sum(3, -1)

y Horner add degree1 = 2

y Horner multiply before degree0 := mul(2, -1)

y Horner multiply before degree0 = -2

y Horner add degree0 := sum(-2, 13)

y Horner add degree0 = 11

y′ ascending coefficients=[-1, -6, 0]

evaluate at x=-1

y′ Horner multiply before degree0 := mul(-6, -1)

y′ Horner multiply before degree0 = 6

y′ Horner add degree0 := sum(6, -1)

y′ Horner add degree0 = 5

y″ ascending coefficients=[-6, 0]

evaluate at x=-1

a·y″ := mul(2, -6)

a·y″ = -12

b·y′ := mul(-3, 5)

b·y′ = -15

c·y := mul(-1, 11)

c·y = -11

a·y″+b·y′+c·y := sum(-12, -15, -11)

a·y″+b·y′+c·y = -38

second-order residual := sub(-38, 43)

second-order residual = -81

residual at x=-1 is -81

equation holds at this point: No

global solution would require the residual identity on the declared domain

no automatic existence,uniqueness or global-solution claim

Result

([13, -1, -3, 0], -1, 11, 5, -6, 2, -3, -1, 43, -81, No)

The full substitutions and premise checks give the original answer; source identity,format and status are unchanged.
