Q. 33. Find the Maclaurin series generated by the function f(x)=x21+x f(x)=\frac{x^{2}}{1+x} . Does this series converge at x=1 x=1 ?
  1. Expand f(x)f(x): To find the Maclaurin series, we need to expand f(x)f(x) as a power series around x=0x=0.\newlinef(x)=x2(11+x)f(x) = x^2 \cdot \left(\frac{1}{1+x}\right)\newlineWe can use the geometric series formula 11r=1+r+r2+r3+\frac{1}{1-r} = 1 + r + r^2 + r^3 + \ldots, where r<1|r| < 1.\newlineHere, r=xr = -x.
  2. Use Geometric Series Formula: So, f(x)=x2(1x+x2x3+)f(x) = x^2 \cdot (1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + \ldots) Now we distribute x2x^2 to each term in the series. f(x)=x2x3+x4x5+f(x) = x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + \ldots
  3. Distribute x2x^2: The Maclaurin series for f(x)f(x) is therefore: f(x)=x2x3+x4x5+f(x) = x^2 - x^3 + x^4 - x^5 + \ldots
  4. Find Maclaurin Series: To check if the series converges at x=1x=1, we substitute x=1x=1 into the series.f(1)=1213+1415+...f(1) = 1^2 - 1^3 + 1^4 - 1^5 + ...f(1)=11+11+...f(1) = 1 - 1 + 1 - 1 + ...This is an alternating series with terms that do not approach zero, so it does not converge.
