In this question, we are asked to find the power series for the function f centered at 0 and then find the interval of convergence.
00:09
And we are asked to use the series for the function 1 over 1 plus x.
00:15
Now note that the integral, recall that the integral of 1 over 1 plus x equals to a len of the absolute value of 1 plus x.
00:31
And since the absolute value of x is less than 1, we can simply rewrite this as a length of 1 plus x.
00:38
Well, actually, there should be a constant of integration c.
00:43
The absolute value of x is less than 1, so we can rewrite that as 1 plus x.
00:49
Because when the absolute value of x is less than 1, the absolute value of 1 plus x is going to be positive.
00:58
Now, on the other hand, we will integrate the series on the right -hand side of 1.
01:07
1 of over 1 plus x.
01:12
The integral of the series negative 1 to the n times x to the n.
01:20
To calculate this integral we just integrated term by term.
01:24
We are going to get the series of negative 1 to n times x to the n plus hearse power divided by n plus 1 and from 0 to infinity, plus some other constant of integration d.
01:41
Now the two expressions must be equal right, the integral of 1 plus x must be equal to the integral of the series.
01:53
That means that ln of 1 plus x must be equal to the series negative 1 to the n times x to the n plus 1 plus 1 and from 0 to infinity plus some constant of integration, i don't know, let's call it k.
02:14
And here k is simply like d minus c, the difference of the two constants of integration.
02:22
To find the constant k, just plug in x equals 0.
02:27
For x equals 0, we are going to get ln of 1 plus 0 equals to the series of negative 1 to the n times 0 to the n plus 1 over n plus 1.
02:39
And from 0 to infinity plus k.
02:44
Of course, the sum of zeros equals to 0, even in infinite sum of 0 is 0.
02:50
Ln of 1 is also 0, therefore k equals to 0.
02:57
And that means that ln of 1 plus x equals to the series negative 1 to the n times x to the n plus 1 over n plus 1, n from 0 to infinity...
