Frobenius & Special Functions · Medium problem

The equation x(x2+9) y′′+y′+xy=0x(x^2 + 9)\,y'' + y' + xy = 0 has a regular singular point at x=0x = 0. Frobenius theory guarantees that the series solutions about x=0x = 0 converge for 0<∣x∣<R0 < |x| < R, where RR is the distance to the nearest other singular point (in the complex plane). Find RR.
