1
State the central method of Series in Integration & Differential Equations and list the conditions that must be checked.
Faculty solution: Use using series where elementary antiderivatives or closed forms are unavailable. State the relevant hypotheses, domain or interval, units when applicable, and a verification plan.
2
Approximate ∫₀^{.5}e^{-x²}dx using terms through x⁴ in e^{-x²}.
For y′=y, y(0)=1, what coefficient recurrence leads to e^x?
Faculty solution: If y=Σa_nx^n, then (n+1)a_{n+1}=a_n, so a_n=1/n!.
4
A learner makes an error by using a power or Taylor series without interval, center, endpoint, or error analysis. Explain the first invalid step and repair the reasoning.
Faculty solution: The first invalid step is using a power or Taylor series without interval, center, endpoint, or error analysis. Return to the governing definition or theorem, restore the missing condition, and verify the corrected result.
5
Create a short application of Series in Integration & Differential Equations in scientific approximation, local models, differential equations, computation, and advanced-study preparation. Define variables and identify the quantity an integral, differential equation, sequence, or series would measure.
Faculty solution: A defensible response defines variables and units, states assumptions, builds the correct mathematical object, and interprets its value in scientific approximation, local models, differential equations, computation, and advanced-study preparation.
6
Describe two independent ways to verify a result from Series in Integration & Differential Equations.
Faculty solution: Use an exact structural check such as differentiation, substitution, partial sums, or theorem hypotheses; then compare with numerical, graphical, dimensional, or limiting evidence.
