I was given the following function:
f(x)=x+2x31⋅3+2⋅4x51⋅3⋅5+2⋅4⋅6x71⋅3⋅5⋅7... ∀x∈[0,1)
And then I was asked to find the value of f(1√2), which obviously requires me to compute the closed form expression of the infinite series.
I tried 'Integration as a limit of sum' but I was unable to modify the expression accordingly. How do I approach the problem?
Answer
Another answer. We use formulas
∫π/20sin2n+1sds=(2n)!!(2n+1)!!,
∞∑k=0z2k+1=z1−z2,|z|<1.
Then
f(x)=∞∑n=0x2n+1(2n)!!(2n+1)!!=∞∑n=0x2n+1∫π/20sin2n+1sds=∫π/20(∞∑n=0(xsins)2n+1)ds=∫π/20xsins1−x2sin2sds=1√1−x2arctan(x√1−x2)
We get
f(1√2)=√2arctan1=√2π4
