SUMMARY
The function g(x) is defined as the power series g(x) = Σ 2x²ⁿ from n=1 to infinity. To compute g(x), one must differentiate the series twice with respect to x. This approach leads to the identification of the series as a geometric series, allowing for the explicit computation of g(x) in terms of x.
