Answer

\[\begin{align} & \left. a \right)1+3x+\frac{9}{2}{{x}^{2}} \\ & \left. b \right)\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( 3x \right)}^{k}}}{k!}} \\ \end{align}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)={{e}^{3x}},\text{ }a=0 \\ & \text{Using the definition of Taylor series for a function}\left( page\,685 \right) \\ & \sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac{{{f}^{\left( k \right)}}\left( a \right)}{k!}{{\left( x-a \right)}^{k}}}\text{ } \\ & =f\left( a \right)+f'\left( a \right)\left( x-a \right)+\frac{f''\left( a \right)}{2!}{{\left( x-a \right)}^{2}}+\cdots \left( \mathbf{1} \right) \\ & \text{Calculate some derivatives and their value at }x=a=0 \\ & f\left( x \right)={{e}^{3x}}\to f\left( 0 \right)={{e}^{0}}=1 \\ & f'\left( x \right)=3{{e}^{3x}}\to f'\left( 0 \right)=3{{e}^{3\left( 0 \right)}}=3 \\ & f''\left( x \right)=9{{e}^{3x}}\to f''\left( 0 \right)=9{{e}^{3\left( 0 \right)}}=9 \\ & f'''\left( x \right)=27{{e}^{3x}}\to f''\left( 0 \right)=27{{e}^{3\left( 0 \right)}}=27 \\ & \\ & \left. a \right)\text{ Substituting the previous result into the formula }\left( \mathbf{1} \right). \\ & \left( \text{Using the nonzero coefficients} \right) \\ & =\frac{1}{0!}{{\left( x-0 \right)}^{0}}+\frac{3}{1!}{{\left( x-0 \right)}^{1}}+\frac{9}{2!}{{\left( x-0 \right)}^{2}} \\ & \text{Simplifying} \\ & =1+3x+\frac{9}{2}{{x}^{2}} \\ & \\ & \left. b \right)\text{ Rewrite the power series} \\ & =\frac{{{3}^{0}}}{0!}{{x}^{0}}+\frac{{{3}^{1}}}{1!}x+\frac{{{3}^{2}}}{2!}{{x}^{2}}+\frac{{{3}^{3}}}{3!}{{x}^{3}} \\ & \text{Using summation notation}\text{, we obtain} \\ & =\sum\limits_{k=0}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( 3x \right)}^{k}}}{k!}} \\ \end{align}\]
