Chapter 9 - Power Series - 9.2 Properties of Power Series - 9.2 Exercises - Page 682: 1

Answer

$c_0$ $c_0+c_1x$ $c_0+c_1x+c_2x^2$ $c_0+c_1x+c_2x^2+c_3x^3$

Work Step by Step

The general form of a power series is: $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} c_k(x-a)^k$ As the series is centered to 0, rewrite the expression for $a=0$: $\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} c_k x^k$ Determine the first 4 terms: $\sum_{k=0}^{0}c_k\cdot x^k=c_0x^0=c_0$ $\sum_{k=0}^{1}c_k x^k=c_0+c_1x$ $\sum_{k=0}^{2}c_k x^k=c_0+c_1x+c_2x^2$ $\sum_{k=0}^{3}c_k x^k=c_0+c_1x+c_2x^2+c_3x^3$
