Single choice

Which of the following statements is not correct?

Options
A.a. If two functions have the same Maclaurin series (term by term), the two functions are the same (for all values of [math: x]).
B.b. If a function is equal to two power series (for all values of [math: x]), the two power series are the same term by term.

Step-by-Step Analysis
The question asks which statement is not correct about Maclaurin/taylor series and their relation to the underlying functions. Option a: 'If two functions have the same Maclaurin series (term by term), the two functions are the same (for all values of x).' Here the key issue is the scope of validity. If two analytic functions sha......Login to view full explanation
