  • 1. If {cn}∞

n=0 is a sequence of numbers, then ∞

Facts About Power Series

  • 1. If {cn}∞

n=0 is a sequence of numbers, then ∞

n=0

cn(x−x0)n is called a power series about x0.

  • 2. There is a nonnegative R (the radius of convergence),

which could be infinity, so that the power series converges for every x in (x0 −R,x0 +R) and so that the power series diverges for every x not in (x0 −R,x0 +R).

  • 4. Standard way to compute the radius of convergence for

many series: Apply the ratio test. The power series converges for all x for which lim

logo1 Summary Radius of Convergence Representation of Functions

Compute the Taylor Series of f(x) = sin(x) About x0 = 0 f(x) = sin(x), f(0) = 0 f ′(x) = cos(x), f ′(0) = 1 f ′′(x) = −sin(x), f ′′(0) = 0 f ′′′(x) = −cos(x), f ′′′(0) = −1 f ′′′′(x) = sin(x), f ′′′′(0) = 0 The pattern repeats. Even numbered derivatives are zero. So we only need to focus on exponents of the form 2n+1, that is, we will have summands that involve x2n+1 (2n+1)!. The odd numbered derivatives at 0 are 1 and −1 alternatingly. Alternating negative signs are represented by (−1)n or (−1)n+1. For this one, (−1)n works. So the Taylor series

  • f the sine function about x0 = 0 is T(x) =

n=0

(−1)n (2n+1)!x2n+1.
