Finding the Maclaurin series for a function

Section titled “Finding the Maclaurin series for a function”

We know the maclaurin series for :

Now we can just substitute in place of :

Next, we can expand + simplify the powers:

And then simplify the factorials and coefficient fractions:

  • We know the maclaurin series for and :
  • What if we substitute the series for into the series for ?
  • Again, we can substitute the series for into each of these:

TODO: finish this stupid question, I can’t bear even looking at it anymore

  • We know the maclaurin series for :
  • We can rewrite as:
  • Now we substitute in place of in the series for :
  • Expand and simplify the powers:
  • At the end, we combine this with to get the final series:
  • We know the maclaurin series for :
  • We can substitute in place of in the series for :
  • Expand and simplify the powers:
  • Finally, we multiply the series by to get the final result:
