Question

Show x<1/2, then x=1/2, and then x>1/2. 

Exercise 6.6.10. Consider f(x) = 1/√1-x.
(a) Generate the Taylor series for f centered at zero, and use Lagrange's
Remainder Theorem to show the series converges to f on [0, 1/2]. (The
case x < 1/2 is more straightforward while x = 1/2 requires some extra
care.) What happens when we attempt this with x > 1/2?
(b) Use Cauchy's Remainder Theorem proved in Exercise 6.6.9 to show the
series representation for f holds on [0, 1).
