- If xo is in the interval of convergence of a power series n=1 an (x – c)" that represents a function f(x), which of the following is true? Circle all that apply. (a) The value of f(xo) is approximated by the power series evaluated at x0, and the remain- der is non-zero. (b) The value of f(xo) is exactly equal to the power series evaluated at xo. (c) The interval of convergence must be all real numbers. (d) The only point of convergence is the center of the power series x = c. If f(x) is represented by a power series E-, an (x – c)" over an open interval containing c, then which of the following is true about that power series? Circle all that apply. (a) The remainder of the power series is less than or equal to an. (b) The derivative of the power series is a power series. (c) The interval of convergence must be all real numbers.
