Answer

Final Answer: a. The differentiated Taylor series about 0 of f(x)=ex is f(x)=1+x+x22!+x33!+.b. The function represented by the differentiated series is f(x)=ex.c. The interval of convergence of the power series for the derivative is all real numbers.

Steps

Step 1 :The Taylor series of a function f(x) about x=a is given by the formula: f(x)=f(a)+f(a)(xa)+f(a)2!(xa)2+f(a)3!(xa)3+

Step 2 :For the function f(x)=ex, the derivative of ex is also ex, and e0=1, so the Taylor series of f(x) about x=0 is: f(x)=1+x+x22!+x33!+

Step 3 :Differentiating this series, we get: f(x)=1+x+x22!+x33!+

Step 4 :This is the same as the original series, so the function represented by the differentiated series is also f(x)=ex.

Step 5 :The power series for ex converges for all x, so the interval of convergence of the power series for the derivative is also all real numbers.

Step 6 :Final Answer: a. The differentiated Taylor series about 0 of f(x)=ex is f(x)=1+x+x22!+x33!+.b. The function represented by the differentiated series is f(x)=ex.c. The interval of convergence of the power series for the derivative is all real numbers.
