find the Maclaurin expression

32 Views Asked by At

The function is $$f(x)=e^{-x^2}$$ Now using the power series formulas of $e^x$ and manipulating it to become the given function it show be $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(-1)^nx^{2n}}{n!}$$ Now if I want to evaluate the integral of the function and give my answer in sum notation
I would get $$\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{-x^{2n+2}}{(n+1)!}$$

Sorry I keep editing the question, there is a lot of parts to this particular question.

Since the Maclaurin series of $e^x$ is $$ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^k}{k!} $$ one gets the Maclaurin series of $f(x)=e^{-x^2}$:

$$ \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{(-1)^k}{k!}x^{2k} $$
