Solution 9 (a).
Answer. Series
I.
for
,
Answer. Series
II.
for
.
Solution. First
series.
Start by writing the function in the form
.
Series
I. Differentiate the geometric
series
which
is valid for
to
establish the identity
which
is valid for
. (See
Exercise 8 for the proof.)
Make the substitution
and
get:
Therefore,
is
valid for
.
We are done.
Aside. We can let Mathematica double check our work.
The first series.
We are really done.
Aside. As an
optional experiment, we can plot some of the partial sums of the
series
.
The mapping
is
not one-to-one in the punctured
disk
,
and so we will choose the small portion
.

Recall Exercise
8. The formula
is
valid for
. (From
Exercise 8.)
Use the geometric series
which
is valid for
and
differentiate termwise to get:
Hence,
is
valid for
.
