The expected (average) number of tosses of a fair coin required to obtain the first head is \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} k\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{k} .\) Evaluate this series and determine the expected number of tosses. (Hint: Differentiate a geometric series.)
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. To evaluate \(\int_{0}^{2} \frac{d x}{1-x},\) one could expand the integrand in a Taylor series and integrate term by term. b. To approximate \(\pi / 3,\) one could substitute \(x=\sqrt{3}\) into the Taylor series for \(\tan ^{-1} x\) c. \(\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(\ln 2)^{k}}{k !}=2\)
Use an appropriate Taylor series to find the first four nonzero terms of an infinite series that is equal to the following numbers. $$e^{2}$$
Write the Taylor series for \(f(x)=\ln (1+x)\) about 0 and find the interval of convergence. Evaluate \(f\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)\) to find the value of \(\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{k \cdot 2^{k}}.\)
Let $$f(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} c_{k} x^{k} \quad \text { and } \quad g(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} d_{k} x^{k}$$ a. Multiply the power series together as if they were polynomials, collecting all terms that are multiples of \(1, x,\) and \(x^{2} .\) Write the first three terms of the product \(f(x) g(x)\) b. Find a general expression for the coefficient of \(x^{n}\) in the product series, for \(n=0,1,2, \ldots\)
