QUESTION:

Differentiating and integrating power series Find the power series representation for g centered at 0 by differentiating or integrating the power series for f (perhaps more than once). Give the interval of convergence for the resulting series.

\(g(x)=\frac{1}{(1-x)^{2}}\) using \(f(x)=\frac{1}{1-x}\)

ANSWER:

Solution 33E

Step 1:

In this problem we need to find the power series representation for g(x) = $\frac{1}{(1-x{)}^{2}}$ centered at ‘0’ by differentiating or integrating the power series for f(x) = $\frac{1}{1-x}$

We already know a power series for f(x) = $\frac{1}{1-x}$ = $\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}{x}^{n}$ for $-1<x<1$

$\frac{1}{1\ -\ x}=\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}{x}^{n}$

$\Rightarrow{}\frac{d}{dx}(\frac{1}{1\ -\ x})=\frac{d}{dx}(\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}{x}^{n})$

$\Rightarrow{}\frac{2}{(1\ -\ x{)}^{2}}=\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}n{x}^{n-1}$ , since $\frac{d}{dx}$ ${{x}^{n}=\ n{x}^{n-1}}^{\ }$ , and $\frac{1}{1\ -\ x}$ = ${(1-x{)}^{-1}}^{\ }$

$\Rightarrow{}\frac{1}{(1\ -\ x{)}^{2}}=\frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}n{x}^{n-1}$

Therefore , power series representation for g(x) = $\frac{1}{(1\ -\ x{)}^{2}}\ is\ \frac{1}{2}\sum\limits_{n\ =\ 0}^{\infty{}}n{x}^{n-1}$
