  Similarly, one can show

27.2.5 Note:
(i)
Suppose, a power series
 


is convergent is an open interval I around a point a , and
                                                                                     ----------(*)

A natural question arises, in the power series above the Taylor series expansion of The answer is yes. In fact if (*) holds, then the power series has nonzero radius of convergence and hence by theorem 27.1.7, series can be differentiated term by term, giving

....

Thus

(ii)
In view of (i) above, if is expressed as sum of a power series, then it must be Taylor series of .
 

Thus, technique of previous section can be used to find Taylor series expansions.

From the convergence of geometric series, we know
