    The document discusses using Taylor series expansions to show a relationship involving the zeros of a function f(x). It suggests expanding f(x) near its zeros, keeping the first non-zero term, which yields a linear approximation. Integrating this over an interval containing n zeros results in n such Taylor series expansions, demonstrating the relationship.

    Hint: where does blow up? Expand f(x) near such points in a Taylor series, keeping the first nonzero term.

    Suggestively abbreviating the Taylor coefficient , and expanding arbitrarily close ( ) to one of its
    zeros, the series can be truncated at linear order,

    If we integrate the LHS of 12 over a finite interval [A, B] containing n zeros of the function f(x) and use our result 13, we

    run into n such Taylor series expansions 13 and zeros everywhere else. Use and , and get,
