Converge or Diverge? MAT 146
Converge or Diverge? MAT 146
Converge or Diverge? MAT 146
Power Series • x is a variable. • The cn’s are constants, called the coefficients. • For any fixed value of x, we can test the series for convergence. MAT 146
Power Series • The sum of the series is a function with domain the set of all x values for which the series converges. • The function seems to be a polynomial, except it has an infinite number of terms. MAT 146
Power Series: Example • If we let cn = 1 for all n, we get a familiar series: • This geometric series has common ratio x and we know the series converges for |x| < 1. • We also know the sum of this series: MAT 146
Generalized Power Series • This is called: • a power series in (x – a), or • a power series centered at a, or • a power series about a. MAT 146
Power Series Convergence • For what values of x does this series converge? • Determine its Radius of Convergence and its Interval of Convergence. MAT 146
Power Series Convergence • For what values of x does this series converge? • Determine its Radius of Convergence and its Interval of Convergence. MAT 146
Power Series Convergence • For what values of x does this series converge? • Use the Ratio Test to determine values of x that result in a convergent series. MAT 146
Power Series Convergence • For what values of x does this series converge? • Use the Ratio Test to determine values of x that result in a convergent series. MAT 146
