Homework 8

HWK 8 problems

NEWS FLASH: The due date for HWK 8 has been extended to Monday, Nov. 9

Hint for V.16.1: We know that

$ f(z)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty z^n=\frac{1}{1-z} $

if $ |z|<1 $. Notice that

$ f'(z)=\sum_{n=1}^\infty nz^{n-1} $,

and

$ f''(z)=\sum_{n=2}^\infty n(n-1)z^{n-2} $.

What are the power series for $ zf'(z) $ and $ z^2f''(z) $? How can you combine these to get the series in the question? --Steve Bell


Does anybody know how to attack problem 10.2? Also for problem 8.1, I am thinking the power series should just be $ (z-zo)^{k} $Did anybody do it another way? --Adrian Delancy
