i need to prove that if f and and g are analytic functions in (-a,a) then so is fg.

well basically i need to find the radius of convergence of fg, which its coefficient is: c_n=\sum_{i=0}^{n} b_i*a_{n-i}, by using cauchy hadamard theorom for finding the radius of convergence, and to show that it's not greater than a.
well limsup |c_n|^1/n, then c_n=a_0b_n+...+a_nb_0
now i think that (c_n)^{\frac{1}{n}}<= ((n+1)(\max_{n \in N}(|a_n|,||b_n|))^2)^{1/n}
i think this inequality also applies to alternating sequences.
anyway i don't know how bound it below.

wait a minute i think that's enough iv'e shown that the radius cannot be greater than a.
stupid me. (-;
 
But this isn't true. If f is analytic in some region, then gf is analytic in that region if f maps into some region in which g is analytic. And the converse is certainly false.
 
He's talking about the product of f and g, not the composition.
 
Ah! Now why didn't I think of that? (Suggestions not necessary.)
 
yes I am talking of the prodcut.
anyway, i think this appraoch of mine isn't correct.
i think that bassically in order to prove it you need to use here cauchy's product.
i.e if two partial sums f_n and g_n converges absolutely then also their cauchy's product converges absolutely.
bassically here we assume that both g and f converges in 0<r<a, in [-r,r] they converge absolutely so also their cauchy product converges absolutely at [-r,r].
is this better than my other obvoiusly faulty answer?
 
There are two things I don't understand about this problem. First, when finding the nth root of a number, there should in theory be n solutions. However, the formula produces n+1 roots. Here is how. The first root is simply ##\left(r\right)^{\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)}##. Then you multiply this first root by n additional expressions given by the formula, as you go through k=0,1,...n-1. So you end up with n+1 roots, which cannot be correct. Let me illustrate what I mean. For this...
