Answer

$f(x)=1+2x+2x^2+\dfrac{4}{3}x^3+\dfrac{2}{3}x^4+......$

Work Step by Step

We are given the function: $f(x)=e^{2x}=(e^2)^x$. Determine the Maclaurin series corresponding to $f(x)$: $f(x)=f(0)+\dfrac{f'(0)}{1!}+\dfrac{f"(0)}{2!}+.....$ $f'(x)=2e^{2x}\Rightarrow f'(0)=2$ $f"(x)=2\cdot2e^{2x}=2^2e^{2x}\Rightarrow f"(0)=2^2$ $f^{(3)}(x)=2\cdot2^2e^{2x}=2^3e^{2x}\Rightarrow f^{(3)}(0)=2^3$ .... $f^{(n)}(x)=2^n e^{2x}\Rightarrow f^{(3)}(0)=2^n$ $f(x)=1+\dfrac{2}{1!}x+\dfrac{2^2}{2!}x^2+\dfrac{2^3}{3!}x^3+\dfrac{2^4}{4!}x^3+.....$ $f(x)=1+2x+2x^2+\dfrac{4}{3}x^3+\dfrac{2}{3}x^4+......$
