Radius and interval of convergence Determine the radius and interval of convergence of the following power series.


∑ₖ₌₀∞ (2x)ᵏ

검증된 단계별 안내
1
Identify the given power series: \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (2x)^k\). This is a geometric series with the general term \(a_k = (2x)^k\).
Recall that a geometric series \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} r^k\) converges if and only if \(|r| < 1\). Here, the ratio \(r\) is \$2x$.
Set up the inequality for convergence: \(|2x| < 1\). This inequality will help us find the radius of convergence.
Solve the inequality \(|2x| < 1\) to find the interval for \(x\): dividing both sides by 2 gives \(|x| < \frac{1}{2}\). This means the radius of convergence \(R\) is \(\frac{1}{2}\).
Determine the interval of convergence by considering the endpoints \(x = -\frac{1}{2}\) and \(x = \frac{1}{2}\). Test these values in the original series to check if the series converges or diverges at the endpoints.

Power Series

A power series is an infinite sum of terms in the form a_k(x - c)^k, where a_k are coefficients and c is the center. Understanding power series helps analyze functions as infinite polynomials and study their convergence behavior around the center point.

Intro to Power Series

Radius of Convergence

The radius of convergence is the distance from the center within which a power series converges absolutely. It can be found using tests like the Ratio Test, and it defines the interval where the series represents a valid function.

Radius of Convergence

Interval of Convergence

The interval of convergence is the set of x-values for which the power series converges. It includes all points within the radius of convergence and requires checking endpoints separately to determine if the series converges there.

{Use of Tech} A different kind of approximation When approximating a function f using a Taylor polynomial, we use information about f and its derivative at one point. An alternative approach (called interpolation) uses information about f at several different points. Suppose we wish to approximate f(x)=sin x on the interval [0, π].


a. Write the (quadratic) Taylor polynomial p₂ for f centered at π/2.


b. Now consider a quadratic interpolating polynomial q(x) = ax² + bx + c. The coefficients a, b, and c are chosen such that the following conditions are satisfied:

q(0) = f(0), q(π/2) = f(π/2), and q(π) = f(π)


Show that q(x) = −(4/π²)x² + (4/π)x.


c. Graph f, p₂, and q on [0, π].


d. Find the error in approximating f(x) = sin x at the points π/4, π/2, 3π/4, and π using p₂ and q.


e. Which function, p₂ or q, is a better approximation to f on [0, π]? Explain.
