The goal is to use differentiation to get the left side of this equation to match exactly the function we’ve been given. When we differentiate, we have to remember to differentiate all three parts of the equation. We’ll try to simplify the sum on the right as much as possible, and the result will be the power series representation of our function. If we need to, we can then use the power series representation to find the radius and interval of convergence.
