Given the series
f(x)=11+x
We have to find the power series of g(x) by differentiating or integrating f(x). Also we have to find the interval of convergence.
Formula used:
1.11+x=n=0xn
2.ddx(xn)=nxn1
3. If n=1an(xc)n is a power series with radius of convergence R, then the interval of convergence is cR
4.The series anxn is convergent then limn|anan+1|>1
Now, Power series by differentiating f,
11+x=11(x)=n=0(x)n=n=0(1)nxn
11+x=n=0(1)nxn
diff. both sides,
ddx(11+x)=ddx(n=0(1)nxn)
1(1+x)2=n=0(1)nnxn1
1(1+x)2=0+n=1(1)nnxn1
1(1+x)2=n=1(1)nnxn1
Now to find the interval of convergence:
We have
an=(1)nnxn1
Now, limn|anan+1|=limn|(1)nnxn1(1)n+1(n+1)xn|=limn|n1(n+1)x|=limn|1(1+1n)x|=|1x|
now limn|anan+1|=|1x|>1
1|x|>1
|x|<1 i.e. 1
Now check at boundary points of the interval:
At x=1, n=1(1)nn(1)n1=n=1(1)nn
does not converge.
At x=1,n=1(1)nn(1)n1=n=1(1)2n1n
does not converge.
Hence the interval of convergence is (-1, 1).
