Question restatement: Which of the following statements is NOT true? Option a: 'The Maclaurin series of the sine function has an infinite radius of convergence.' This is true because sin(x) has a power series with coefficients that yield a radius of convergence R = ∞, so it converges for all x. Option b: 'For a positive radius of convergence there are four essentially different types of intervals of convergence.' With a positive radius R > 0, the interval of convergence is an in......Login to view full explanation
