Series solution — the printed key does not match the recurrence

The differential equation: y"+exy=0y"+e^xy=0 has a series solution y(x)=∑k=0∞akxky(x)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty a_kx^k which satisfies y(0)=1y(0)=1 and y′(0)=0y'(0)=0 (printed as "x(0)=1x(0)=1" and "x′(0)=0x'(0)=0" — a variable-name slip for the function yy, since xx is the series variable itself and cannot meaningfully have a value "at 00"). Then the values of the coefficients a0,a1,a2a_0,a_1,a_2 are:
