Exponential function In Section 11.3, we show that the power series for the exponential function centered at 0 is


eˣ = ∑ₖ₌₀∞ (xᵏ)/k!, for −∞ < x < ∞


Use the methods of this section to find the power series centered at 0 for the following functions. Give the interval of convergence for the resulting series.


f(x) = e⁻³ˣ

Recall the power series expansion for the exponential function centered at 0: \[e^{x} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{k}}{k!}\] which converges for all real numbers \[x\] (i.e., the interval of convergence is \[(-\infty, \infty)\]).
To find the power series for \[f(x) = e^{-3x}\], substitute \[-3x\] in place of \[x\] in the original series. This gives: \[e^{-3x} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-3x)^{k}}{k!}\].
Rewrite the terms inside the summation to separate powers of \[x\] and constants: \[e^{-3x} = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-3)^{k} x^{k}}{k!}\].
Since the original exponential series converges for all real numbers, replacing \[x\] by \[-3x\] does not change the radius of convergence. Therefore, the interval of convergence remains \[(-\infty, \infty)\].
Summarize the power series for \[f(x)\] as \[f(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-3)^{k}}{k!} x^{k}\] with interval of convergence \[(-\infty, \infty)\].

Power Series Representation of Functions

A power series expresses a function as an infinite sum of terms involving powers of the variable, typically centered at a point (here, 0). For example, the exponential function eˣ can be written as ∑ₖ₌₀∞ (xᵏ)/k!. Understanding this allows us to represent more complex functions by manipulating known series.

Substitution in Power Series

To find the power series of a function like f(x) = e⁻³ˣ, we substitute the inner expression (−3x) into the known series for eˣ. This means replacing x by −3x in the series, resulting in ∑ₖ₌₀∞ ((−3x)ᵏ)/k!. This technique helps generate new series from existing ones.

Interval of Convergence

The interval of convergence is the set of x-values for which the power series converges to the function. For the exponential series, the interval is all real numbers (−∞, ∞). After substitution, it is important to verify if the interval changes, ensuring the series accurately represents the function within that domain.

{Use of Tech} Newton's derivation of the sine and arcsine series Newton discovered the binomial series and then used it ingeniously to obtain many more results. Here is a case in point.

a. Referring to the figure, show that x = sin s or s = sin ⁻¹ x.

b. The area of a circular sector of radius r subtended by an angle θ is 1/2r²θ. Show that the area of the circular sector APE is s/2, which implies that

s = 2 ∫₀ˣ √(1 − t²) dt − x √(1 −x²)

c. Use the binomial series for f(x) = √(1 − x²) to obtain the first few terms of the Taylor series for s=sin ⁻¹ x.

d. Newton next inverted the series in part (c) to obtain the Taylor series for x=sin s. He did this by assuming sin s = ∑ aₖ sᵏ and solving x = sin(sin ⁻¹ x) for the coefficients aₖ. Find the first few terms of the Taylor series for sin s using this idea (a computer algebra system might be helpful as well).
