1. ## Taylor theorem

Prove the given equation using Taylor series theorem.

$sin^{-1}\frac{2x}{1+x^{2}}=2\left \{ x-\frac{x^{3}}{3}+\frac{x^{5}}{5}-\frac{x^{7}}{7}+... \right \}$

What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

My 'proof' doesn't use the 'Taylor series theorem' but avoids tedious computation of derivatives...

Let's strart with the hypothesis that it exists the McLaurin expansion...

$\sin^{-1} \frac{2x}{1+x^{2}}= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}\ x^{n}$ (1)

...and we want to compute the $a_{n}$. Now, considering that is...

$\int \sin^{-1} t\ dt= t\ \sin^{-1} t + \sqrt{1-t^{2}}+c$ (2)

... setting in (2) $t=\frac{2 x}{1+x^{2}}$ we derive using (1) and a little of patience...

$\int_{0}^{x} \sin^{-1} t\ dt = \frac{2 x}{1+x^{2}}\ \sin^{-1} \frac{2x}{1+x^{2}} - \frac{2\ x^{2}}{1+x^{2}} =$

$= \frac{2 x}{1+x^{2}}\ (\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_{n}\ x^{n}-x)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{a_{n}}{n+1}\ x^{n+1}$ (3)

... and the identity (3) permits the computation of the $a_{n}$...

Kind regards
