Example 6. Use
Maclaurin series and verify the identity
.
Solution 6.
Using the results of Examples 4 and 5 we have the series
representations for
and
.
Enter the Maclaurin series expansion
for
.
Differentiate the Maclaurin series expansion
for
term by term.
Enter the Maclaurin series expansion for
.
Compare the series for
.
It always helps to look at a few of the terms of the series to see what is happening.
It is now easy to see that
.
We are done.
Aside. We could have
Mathematica compute some terms in the Maclaurin series
expansions of
and
.
Again, it is now easy to see
that
.
