Math Problem Statement

Integrate the given series expansion of f term-by-term from zero to x to obtain the corresponding series expansion for the indefinite integral of f. f(x)=(-7x^(6))/((1+x^(7))^(2))=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (-1)^(n)7nx^(7n-1) \int_0^x f(t)dt=\sum_(n=1)^(\infty )

Solution

To find the series expansion for the indefinite integral of the given function f(x)f(x), we will integrate the given series expansion of f(x)f(x) term-by-term. The given series expansion is:

f(x)=n=0(1)n7nx7n1f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n 7n x^{7n-1}

We need to integrate this series term-by-term from 0 to xx to find the series expansion for 0xf(t)dt\int_0^x f(t) \, dt:

0xf(t)dt=0x(n=0(1)n7nt7n1)dt\int_0^x f(t) \, dt = \int_0^x \left( \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n 7n t^{7n-1} \right) dt

Using the linearity of integration and the fact that we can interchange the summation and integration (since the series is uniformly convergent on the interval of integration), we get:

0xf(t)dt=n=0(1)n7n0xt7n1dt\int_0^x f(t) \, dt = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n 7n \int_0^x t^{7n-1} \, dt

To integrate each term, we use the power rule of integration:

t7n1dt=t7n7n\int t^{7n-1} \, dt = \frac{t^{7n}}{7n}

Therefore, we have:

0xt7n1dt=[t7n7n]0x=x7n7n\int_0^x t^{7n-1} \, dt = \left[ \frac{t^{7n}}{7n} \right]_0^x = \frac{x^{7n}}{7n}

Substituting this back into our series, we obtain:

0xf(t)dt=n=0(1)n7nx7n7n=n=0(1)nx7n\int_0^x f(t) \, dt = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n 7n \cdot \frac{x^{7n}}{7n} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} (-1)^n x^{7n}

However, note that the series starts from n=1n = 1 to ensure the correct form based on the given problem:

0xf(t)dt=n=1(1)nx7n\int_0^x f(t) \, dt = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n x^{7n}

Thus, the series expansion for the indefinite integral of f(x)f(x) is:

0xf(t)dt=n=1(1)nx7n\boxed{\int_0^x f(t) \, dt = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^n x^{7n}}

  1. How can we verify the convergence of the given series expansion?
  2. What is the radius of convergence for the series expansion of f(x)f(x)?
  3. How would the integration change if the series started at n=1n = 1 instead of n=0n = 0?
  4. Can the method of term-by-term integration be applied to non-uniformly convergent series?
  5. What are the conditions under which term-by-term integration is valid?
  6. How does the integral of the series expansion compare with the original function f(x)f(x)?
  7. What is the significance of the alternating series in this context?
  8. How can we express the integral 0xf(t)dt\int_0^x f(t) \, dt in a closed form if possible?

Tip: When integrating a power series term-by-term, ensure that the series converges uniformly on the interval of integration. This guarantees the validity of interchanging the summation and integration operations.
