Find a power series representation for the function. Determine the interval of convergence. (Give your power series representation centered at
x=0
.)
f(x)=(9)/(2-x)
Step 1 We wish to express
f(x)=(9)/(2-x)
in the form
(1)/(1-r)
and then use the following equation.
(1)/(1-r)=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (,r^(n))
Step 2 Factor a 9 from the numerator and a 2 from the denominator. This will give us the following. Step 3 Now, we can use
r=(x)/(2)
in
(1)/(1-r)=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) r^(n)
. Therefore,
f(x)=(9)/(2)((1)/(1-((x)/(2))))=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (,x)
.
