SUMMARY
The domain of the arctan power series is defined as |x| <= 1 due to its convergence properties, specifically linked to the integral of 1/(1+x^2). Unlike typical power series that converge for |x| < 1, the arctan series includes endpoints due to its behavior at these values. In contrast, the Taylor expansions of cosh(x) and sinh(x) converge for all x due to their entire function nature, which allows them to be defined across the entire complex plane.
