Solution by Steps
step 1
To find the third derivative of f(x) f(x) at x=0 x = 0 , we need to differentiate the given series term by term three times and then evaluate at x=0 x = 0
step 2
The general term of the series is (1)nx2n+1(2n)! (-1)^n \frac{x^{2n+1}}{(2n)!} . The first derivative of this term with respect to x x is (1)n(2n+1)x2n(2n)! (-1)^n \frac{(2n+1)x^{2n}}{(2n)!}
step 3
The second derivative of the general term with respect to x x is (1)n(2n+1)(2n)x2n1(2n)! (-1)^n \frac{(2n+1)(2n)x^{2n-1}}{(2n)!}
step 4
The third derivative of the general term with respect to x x is (1)n(2n+1)(2n)(2n1)x2n2(2n)! (-1)^n \frac{(2n+1)(2n)(2n-1)x^{2n-2}}{(2n)!}
step 5
Evaluating the third derivative at x=0 x = 0 , we see that all terms where n1 n \geq 1 will be zero because they will have a factor of x x raised to a positive power
step 6
The only term that survives is the one with n=0 n = 0 , which is (1)0(20+1)(20)(201)(20)! (-1)^0 \frac{(2 \cdot 0 + 1)(2 \cdot 0)(2 \cdot 0 - 1)}{(2 \cdot 0)!}
step 7
Simplifying the term with n=0 n = 0 , we get 10(1)1=0 \frac{1 \cdot 0 \cdot (-1)}{1} = 0
Answer
f(0)=0 f'''(0) = 0
Key Concept
Differentiation of power series term by term and evaluation at a point
Explanation
The third derivative of the function at x=0 x = 0 is found by differentiating the series term by term three times and then evaluating at x=0 x = 0 . All terms with n1 n \geq 1 vanish, leaving only the term with n=0 n = 0 , which evaluates to zero.
