How do I get the power series representation of the square root of (8+x^3)?
💝
To find the power series representation of , we will use the binomial series expansion for non-integer exponents. The binomial series for where is any real number and is given by:
where is the generalized binomial coefficient:
First, rewrite in a form suitable for the binomial expansion:
Now, let and . We then expand as follows:
Using the binomial coefficient for :
Now substitute :
Thus:
