Why is the domain of arctan power series |x|<=1?

In summary, the domain of the arctan power series is limited to values of x that fall within a range of -1 to 1. This is because the arctan function only exists for values between -1 and 1, and the power series is used to approximate the arctan function. If x is outside this domain, the power series will not accurately approximate the value of arctan. The domain is important because it determines the range of values for which the power series can accurately approximate the arctan function, and it cannot be expanded without compromising accuracy. There are no exceptions to the domain of arctan power series and it is important to adhere to it when using the power series.

Why is the domain of arctan power series |x|<=1?
i understand why a power series has the domain |x|<1, but why is the power series of arctan |x|<=1?
thanks!

also, why are domains of the taylor expansions of coshx and sinhx: for all x?

are you kidding? arctan is the integral of 1/(1+x^2). what makes it look undefined at some points of |z| = 1?
 

1) Why is the domain of arctan power series |x|<=1?

The domain of the arctan power series is limited to values of x that fall within a range of -1 to 1. This is because the arctan function only exists for values between -1 and 1, and the power series is used to approximate the arctan function.

2) What happens if x is outside the domain of arctan power series?

If x is outside the domain of arctan power series, the power series will not be able to accurately approximate the value of arctan for that x value. This is because the power series is only a valid representation of the arctan function within the specified domain of -1 to 1.

3) Why is the domain of arctan power series important?

The domain of arctan power series is important because it determines the range of values for which the power series can accurately approximate the arctan function. If the domain is not strictly adhered to, the approximation will not be accurate and may lead to incorrect results.

4) Can the domain of arctan power series be expanded?

No, the domain of arctan power series cannot be expanded. The arctan function only exists for values between -1 and 1, and the power series is used to approximate this function. Attempting to expand the domain would result in inaccurate approximations.

5) Are there any exceptions to the domain of arctan power series?

No, there are no exceptions to the domain of arctan power series. The domain is a fundamental aspect of the power series and cannot be altered without compromising the accuracy of the approximation. It is important to adhere to the specified domain when using the arctan power series.
