Exercise 6.6.3

Derive the formula for the Taylor coefficients given in Theorem 6.6.2.

Answers

We are given f ( x ) = n = 0 a n x n defined on some nontrivial interval ( R , R ) . a 0 = f ( 0 ) by definition, now applying Theorem 6.5.7 we get

f ( x ) = n = 1 a n n x n 1

and f ( 0 ) = a 1 1 by definition of f , continue like this applying 6.5.7 each time to get

a n = f ( n ) ( 0 ) n !
