The second-order differential equation
where p is a nonnegative integer, arises in many applications in physics and engineering, including one model for the vibration of a beaten drum. The solution of the differential equation is called the Bessel function of order p, denoted by . It may be shown that is given by the following power series in x:
Graph the first four terms in the sequence of partial sums of .
In Exercises 23–32 we ask you to give Lagrange’s form for the corresponding remainder,
Use an appropriate Maclaurin series to find the values of the series in Exercises 17–22.
If m is a positive integer, how can we find the Maclaurin series for the function if we already know the Maclaurin series for the function f(x)? How do you find the interval of convergence for the new series?
Find the interval of convergence for each power series in Exercises 21–48. If the interval of convergence is finite, be sure to analyze the convergence at the endpoints.
