4(x + 1)y''' + 4y'' + 2y'' + (pi^2)y' = 0
4(x + 1)y''' + 6y'' + (pi^2)y' = 0

4(x + 1)y'''' + 4y''' + 6y''' + (pi^2)y'' = 0
4(x + 1)y'''' + 10y''' + (pi^2)y'' = 0

etc

4(x + 1)y^{(n + 2)} + (4n + 2)y^{(n + 1)} + (pi^2)y^{(n)} = 0

You might want to prove this result by induction.

[y^{(n)} is a "y" with a superscript "(n)". It is the nth derivative of y.]
