The equation (x2−6x+10) y′′+xy′+y=0(x^2 - 6x + 10)\,y'' + xy' + y = 0 has complex singular points at 3±i3 \pm i. For what value of k<3k < 3, if the power series is expanded about x0=kx_0 = k instead of x0=0x_0 = 0, does the ordinary-point theorem guarantee a radius of convergence of exactly 5\sqrt5?
