Find the Maclaurin series for f(x) using the definition of a Maclaurin series. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do n

Mazyrski [523]

We can use the fact that, for $|x|$ ,

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$

Notice that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1{1-x}\right]=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

so that

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac5{(1-x)^2}=5\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n\right]$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

By the ratio test, this series converges if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(n+2)x^{n+1}}{(n+1)x^n}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n+2}{n+1}=|x|$

so the series has radius of convergence $R=1$ .

A rectangular poster has an area of 190 inches squared. The height of the poster is one inch less than twice its width. Find the

Annette [7]

Set the height to h, and the width to w.

We know that wh=190 and h=2w-1.

Substituting 2w-1 for h, we have:

w(2w-1)=190

So:
2w^2-w-190=0

Factoring this equation, we get (2w+19)(w-10)=0. The solutions to this equation are -9.5 and 10, but clearly the width must be positive, Substituting 10 for the width, we get 10*2-1=19 for the height.
