[Constructing power series]

1. Construct the power series centered at for . Write your answer in summation form, or give the first 4 nonzero terms of the series. In addition, find the interval of convergence.

Let in the series for .

For the interval of convergence, I have . Since a square can't be negative, the relevant part of the inequality is . This gives , or .
