# Math Help - Help solving taylor series.

1. ## Help solving taylor series.

I've just started working with Taylor series and can't figure out how to find the series of the following function:

g(x)= $\int_0^x [2e^v+3e^{-v}] dv$

Could anyone please show me the solution?

$\int\limits_0^x [2e^v+3e^{-v}] dv=2e^x-2-3e^{-x}+3=2e^x-3e^{-x}+1$ . Now just remember that

$\displaystyle{e^x=\sum\limits^\infty_{k=0}\frac{x^ k}{k!}\,,\,\,\forall x\in\mathbb{R}}$

3. And for which values of x does the series converge?

Tonio stated that after the series, surely? It holds for all $x$.

Could you please describe this a bit more. How do you see that it holds for all $x$?

6. It's well known that the Taylor series for $\displaystyle e^x$ is convergent for all $\displaystyle x$.

But this is also relatively easy to show using the ratio test.
