Multiplying McLaurin Functions & Power Series

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the multiplication of McLaurin functions with power series, specifically addressing the products of derivatives and trigonometric functions. The example provided illustrates the multiplication of the derivative of a function represented as a power series with the cosine function, as well as the product of the sine function with another power series and the variable x. The key takeaway is the application of series multiplication techniques to derive new functions from existing McLaurin series.

How do you multiply McLaurin functions by "regular" power series?
For example:

If y' = sum (1, inf.) n*a_n x^n-1 and cos(x) = sum(0, inf.) (-1^n x^2n) / (2n)!, how do you find the product?

If y = sum(0, inf.) a_n x^n and sin(x) = sum(0, inf.) (-1^n x^(2n+1)) / (2n+1)!, how do you find the product of sin(x), y, and x?
