Question #8ed5a Calculus Power Series Determining the Radius and Interval of Convergence for a Power Series 1 Answer Cesareo R. May 30, 2016 #(df)/(dx)(x) = sum_{i=1}^n (n-i)a^i x^{n-i-1}# Explanation: #f(x) = sum_{i=0}^n a^i x^{n-i}# so deriving #(df)/(dx)(x) = sum_{i=1}^n (n-i)a^i x^{n-i-1}# Answer link Related questions How do you find the radius of convergence of a power series?
