Solution
0 is ordinary point of a(x)y\'\'+c(x)y=0 if c(x)/a(x) is analytic at 0
 c(x)/a(x)=sin(x)/x
 sin(x)=k=0.. (-1)k/(2k+1)!*x2k+1
so sin(x)/x=k=0.. (-1)k/(2k+1)!*x2k
sin(x) is convergent for any x, hence the above series for sin(x)/x converges for any x
So sin(x)/x has an interval of convergence around 0 ,(-,) so sin(x)/x is analytic
