2. where .
Hint
By uniqueness of the expansion, the coefficient of in the expansion is .
Show solutionHide solution
Solution
1. , so . The coefficient of is obtained for : it is . Hence
2. From , the coefficient of corresponds to : it is . Hence
Remark. The general formula shows how fast the derivatives of at grow, even though is bounded.
