Power series solution to a differential equation

If $f(rho)$ satisfies $frac{df}{drho}=frac{f(2rho)}{2f(rho)}$, I am trying to derive the form of $f(rho)$ by using a power series expansion $f(rho)=sum a_n rho^n$ and show that $f(rho)$ can be $rho$, $Rsin(rho/R)$ or $Rsinh(rho/R)$. I am getting stuck.



What should be further steps?



Thanks for the help in advance.
