Is the solution correct? Question: Use the fact that 1 (1+x)2 = ∞ ∑ n=0(−1)n(n+1)xn   (converges for −1<x<1) to find a series that converges to −2 (1+x)3 (for −1<x<1). "Solution": Line 1: Notice that if f(x)= 1 (1+x)2   then f′(x)= −2 (1+x)3 . Line 2: Therefore, to find a series for −2 (1+x)3   we could differentiate the series for 1 (1+x)2 . Line 3: To find the derivative of a convergent series, we can differentiate term-by-term (i.e. differentiate one term at a time, as if we were differentiating a polynomial). Line 4: Let's expand the given series: Line 5: 1 (1+x)2 =1−2x+3x2−4x3+5x4−6x5+...  Line 6: Now differentiate both sides: Line 7: −2 (1+x)3 =−2+3⋅2x−4⋅3x2+5⋅4x3−6⋅5x4+...  Line 8: Write using sigma notation: Line 9: −2 (1+x)3 = ∞ ∑ n=0(−1)n(n+1)⋅n⋅xn  Line 10: The radius of convergence does not change when differentiating, so   ∞ ∑ n=0(−1)n(n+1)⋅n⋅xn  is a power series that converges to −2 (1+x)3 for −1<x<1.   Is the above "solution" correct? If not, in which line is the first error? First error in line 9 What is the correct final answer to the question? (Choose from the options below) Option II Option I:   ∞ ∑ n=0(−1)n(n+1)⋅n⋅xn   Option II:   ∞ ∑ n=1(−1)n(n+1)⋅n⋅xn−1    Option III:   ∞ ∑ n=0(−1)n(n+1)⋅n⋅xn+1    Option IV:   ∞ ∑ n=1(−1)n+1(n+1)⋅n⋅xn−1

The problem presents a question about identifying the first error in a proposed solution that differentiates a power series term-by-term to obtain a series for -2/(1+x)^3. We will evaluate each option and point out where the inconsistencies arise. Option I: ∞∑_{n=0} (-1)^n (n+1)·n·x^n. This option keeps the same coefficient pattern as the differentiated series but uses x^n instead of the correct x^{n-1} after differentiation. Since differentiating x^n yields n·x^{n-1}, the exponent should drop by one, not stay the same. Moreover, the index should start at n=1 because the term wi......Login to view full explanation

Which of the following statements is NOT true?

In this question we work through the steps for solving the following problem: Find the interval of convergence and the radius of convergence of the power series ∞ ∑ n=0 (x−4)n 3n2    Solution outline: To find interval and radius of convergence, we usually start by using the Ratio Test: a) Evaluate the limit lim n→∞| an+1 an |=lim n→∞| (x−4)n+1 3(n+1)2 (x−4)n 3n2 |      |x-4| b) What does the Ratio Test and your answer in (a) tell you about convergence when |x−4|<1  ?    [ Select ] Nothing (because the ratio test inconclusive) The power series converges The power series diverges c) What does the Ratio Test and your answer in (a) tell you about convergence when |x−4|>1  ?    [ Select ] The power series converges Nothing (because the ratio test inconclusive) The power series diverges d) What does the Ratio Test and your answer in (a) tell you about convergence when |x−4|=1 ?    [ Select ] The power series diverges The power series converges Nothing (because the ratio test inconclusive) e) For what values of x is |x−4|<1 ? (Solve the inequality)  [ Select ] x < 5 -4 < x < 5 -4 < x < 4 3 < x < 5 2 < x < 6 f) When x=5  the power series in the question becomes ∞ ∑ n=0 1 3n2  .
