Expansions of Functions and
Indeterminate Forms
G1. The student is already familia: with expansions of ele-
mentary functions using Binomial Theorem. In this chapter we shall
expand the given function as an infinite convergent scries in the
form dptayx+a-x*-+...+a,x"+--., known as power series. It is
assumed that all the functions dealt here possess finite and con-
tinuows derivatives of ail orders for the values of variables under
consideration and are capable of expansions as power series.

series of positive integral power of x, then

66. Failure of Maclaurin’s Theorem
It should be clearly understood that every function cannot be
expanded by Maclaurin’s Theorem. This theorem is not applicable
in the following cases.
() The function f(x) or any of its successive derivatives do
not exist finitely at x=0.
% e™ sin bx=bx +abx*+
(ii) The infinite series obtained by expansion does not con-
verge. For example Maclaurin’s Theorem c; be-applied to
