Show that y=x2sin(x) and y=0 are both solutions of
x2y4xy+(x2+6)y=0
and that both satisfy the conditions y(0)=0 and y(0)=0. Does this theorem contradict Theorem A? If not, why not?

The existence and uniqueness is usually stated when the coefficient of y is 1, so you want to look at
y(x)4xy(x)+(1+6x2)y(x)=0
There is no contradiction because the coefficients
4x and 1+6x2
are continuous except at x=0

Making
y=xαe±ix
and substituting we obtain
(α2)eix(α±2ix3)xα=0
hence with α=2 and
y=x2(C1sinx+C2cosx)
is the general solution
