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

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on finding the power series representation for the function g, which is related to the function f(x) = 1/(1-3x). Participants express confusion about the relationship between f and g, noting that without this information, they cannot assist effectively. There are suggestions to use the geometric series representation for f as a starting point. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the connection between the two functions to proceed with finding the power series and its interval of convergence. Ultimately, the lack of information about g leads to frustration and a decision to abandon the problem.

$\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
