Find Power Series Representation for $g$: Interval of Convergence

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on finding the power series representation for the function \( g \) centered at 0, using the function \( f(x) = \frac{1}{1-3x} \). The power series for \( f \) can be expressed as \( \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} (3x)^k \), which converges for \( |3x| < 1 \). The relationship between the functions \( f \) and \( g \) remains unclear, as participants noted the absence of critical information regarding \( g \). The interval of convergence for the derived series is essential for understanding the behavior of \( g \).

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of power series and their representations
  • Knowledge of convergence criteria for series
  • Familiarity with differentiation and integration of series
  • Basic algebraic manipulation of functions
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the power series representation of \( g \) based on the relationship with \( f \)
  • Study the interval of convergence for power series, specifically for \( \frac{1}{1-3x} \)
  • Explore techniques for deriving power series through differentiation and integration
  • Investigate the implications of missing information in mathematical problem-solving
USEFUL FOR

Mathematics students, educators, and anyone interested in understanding power series and their applications in calculus.

$\textrm{a. find the power series representation for $g$ centered at 0 by differentiation}\\$
$\textrm{ or Integrating the power series for $f$ perhaps more than once}$
\begin{align*}\displaystyle
f(x)&=\frac{1}{1-3x} \\
&=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}
\end{align*}
$\textsf{b. Give interval of convergence of the new series } $

just reviewing but ? on this one

How are the the functions $f$ and $g$ related?

do you suggest this:
$$\frac{1}{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}x^n$$

The information regarding how $f$ and $g$ are related is missing...without that, we cannot help. :D

I didn't suggest anything ... I don't know the relationship between $f$ and $g$ because you have not provided that essential piece of information.
 
it was from math lab which I don't have acess to anymore. so g probably was noted there..

sorry I just drop the problem
