EXERCISE 6: Let f (x)=e2 x ln ⁡(1+3 x)

a/ Give the Maclaurin series (using the known formula) of e 2 x and of ln ⁡(1+3 x), work
until degree 4 . What is their interval of convergence?
b/ Multiply the Maclaurin series of question a/ in order to find the Maclaurin series of
f (x). What is its interval of convergence?

a/ To find the Maclaurin series of e^2x and ln(1+3x), we can use the known
formulas for these functions.

Maclaurin series of e^2x:

The Maclaurin series for e^x is given by:

e^x = 1 + x + (x^2)/2! + (x^3)/3! + ...

Substituting 2x in place of x, we have:

e^2x = 1 + 2x + (2x^2)/2! + (2x^3)/3! + ...

Simplifying the terms, we get:

e^2x = 1 + 2x + x^2 + (2/3)x^3 + ...

The interval of convergence for e^2x is (-∞, ∞), as the Maclaurin series of e^2x converges
for all real values of x.

Maclaurin series of ln(1+3x):

The Maclaurin series for ln(1+x) is given by:

ln(1+x) = x - (x^2)/2 + (x^3)/3 - ...

Substituting 3x in place of x, we have:

ln(1+3x) = 3x - (9x^2)/2 + (27x^3)/3 - ...

Simplifying the terms, we get:

ln(1+3x) = 3x - (9/2)x^2 + 9x^3 - ...

The interval of convergence for ln(1+3x) is (-1/3, 1/3), as the Maclaurin series of ln(1+3x)
converges for values of x within this interval.

b/ To find the Maclaurin series of f(x), we multiply the Maclaurin series of

e^2x and ln(1+3x).

f(x) = e^2x * ln(1+3x)

Multiplying the Maclaurin series term by term, we have:

f(x) = (1 + 2x + x^2 + (2/3)x^3 + ...) * (3x - (9/2)x^2 + 9x^3 - ...)

Expanding the product, we obtain:

f(x) = 3x + 6x^2 + 3x^3 + (2/3)x^4 + ...

The resulting Maclaurin series of f(x) is:

f(x) = 3x + 6x^2 + 3x^3 + (2/3)x^4 + ...

The interval of convergence for f(x) is determined by the intersection of the intervals of
convergence for e^2x and ln(1+3x), which is (-1/3, 1/3). Therefore, the interval of
convergence for f(x) is also (-1/3, 1/3).
