Use in the supplied small- expansions. The outer approximation re-expanded in inner variables is
This is exactly the large- re-expansion of the inner result in part 1. In particular, the identity
forces the switchback term . The coefficient of the homogeneous contribution at outer order is fixed to , while the remaining inner homogeneous constant is fixed to . Thus the two matched asymptotic expansions agree term by term in .
