Question #cf120 Calculus Power Series Constructing a Taylor Series 1 Answer Narad T. Aug 23, 2017 The answer is #=1+1/2x^2-1/8x^4+1/16x^6+......# Explanation: The Taylor series is #(1+x)^n=1+n/(1!)x+(n(n-1))/(2!)x^2+(n(n-1)(n-2))/(3!)x^3+...# Therefore, #(1+x^2)^(1/2)=1+1/2x^2+((1/2)*(-1/2))/2x^4+......# #=1+1/2x^2-1/8x^4+1/16x^6+......# Answer link Related questions How do you find the Taylor series of #f(x)=1/x# ?
