taylor series question
\[\frac{ x }{ 1+x^{2} }\] x=0
just divide .... itll create the series
sorry
\[\frac{ x }{ (1+x)^{2} }\]
do I still just divide it?
ok, you may want to elaborate on what it is you are goig for. and yes, expand th ebottom and do the division should work out just as well
we are just suppose to express it as a series at x=0 and I don't see the results of the division
the order of division might play into it, put the constant out front x -2x^2+3x^3-4x^4 ... i think theres a pattern --------------------- 1 + 2x + x^2 | x -(x + 2x^2 + x^3 ) -2x^2 -x^3 -(-2x^2 -4x^3-2x^4) 3x^3+2x^4 -(3x^3 + 6x^4+ 3x^5) -4x^4 -3x^5
\[\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}(-1)^{n+1}nx^n\]
my exponent on -1 might be off i dont always get that right the first time :)
nah its good
is that a common method for finding the series. Would this work for 1/(1-x) because I originally though the way were suppose to solve it was relate it to that some way.
it works for the most part yes, i havent come across one where it hasnt
ok thank you for the trick
yep
