I have an equation (xy')'+kxy=xf(x) where $k$ is not an eigenvalue; $y(x)$ and $f(x)$ are subjected to boundary conditions (i) bounded as $x\to 0$; (ii) $y(1)=0=f(1)$

I want to get the (unique) solution $y(x)$ as a linear combination of the eigenfunctions $J_0(z_n x)$ where $z_n$ are the zeros of $J_0$.

So I want $y(x)=\sum a_nJ_0(z_nx)$. Am I right to think that $a_n={\int_0^1J_0(z_nx)f(x)dx\over \lambda_n+k}$? What more can I conclude? Can I further simplify the expression?

Added: $\lambda_n$ are eigenvalues of the system.

Thanks.
