Help!!!!!!!!Please!!!!!!(MacLaurin Series)
I got a right...I can't do b and c
do you know the series for \(e^x\) ?
\[e^x=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}+...\] or \[\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^k}{k!}\]
then for \(e^{-x}\) replace \(x\) by \(-x\)
the even powers are the same exactly, the odd powers will be negative
okay...
\[e^{-x}=1-x+\frac{x^2}{2!}-\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}-...\]
now subtract the two series up term by term the even power terms will add up to zero (cancel, if you prefer) and you will get twice the odd power terms
Wouldn't all the odd powers cancel and you get twice the even powered?
never mind
not if you subtract
would be if you added, which would be \(\cosh(x)\)
since it has a 1/2 in front it'll cancel out the 2 in front of the odd powers..right?
yes exactly
you should get \(\sinh(x)=x+\frac{x^3}{3!}+\frac{x^5}{5!}+...\)
then differentiating term by term, you get \(\cosh(x)=1+\frac{x^2}{2!}+\frac{x^4}{4!}+...\)
\[\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}(x^{2k+1})/(2k+1)!\]
would that be the summation of sinh?
