Understanding the solution key to a problem which shows that the integral of a sum equals a given value.












1












$begingroup$



Suppose that the domain of convergence of the power series
$sum_{k=0}^{infty} c_{k}x^{k}$ contains the interval $(-r, r)$.
Define $$f(x) = sum_{k=0}^{infty} c_{k}x^{k} hspace{1cm} text{
> if } |x| < r. $$



Let $[a, b] subseteq (-r, r).$ Prove that



$$int_{a}^{b} f(x) mathop{dx} = sum_{k = 0}^{infty} frac{c_{k}}{k + 1}left(b^{k + 1} - a^{k + 1}right).$$




Here's the solution I have. It might be wrong because it's not official.





Recall Theorem $5$, which states that if a sequence of integrable functions ${f_{n} : [a, b] rightarrow mathbb{R}}$ converges uniformly to the function $f : [a, b] rightarrow mathbb{R}$, then the limit function is also integrable.



So,



$$int_{a}^{b} f(x) mathop{dx} = lim_{ntoinfty} int_{a}^{b} sum_{k = 0}^{n} c_{k}x^{k} = lim_{ntoinfty} sum_{k=0}^{n}int_{a}^{b} c_{k}x^{k} mathop{dx} = lim_{ntoinfty} sum_{k=0}^{n} left(frac{c_{k}}{k + 1}right)left(b^{k + 1} - a^{k + 1}right) $$



$$= sum_{k=0}^{infty} left(frac{c_{k}}{k + 1}right)left(b^{k + 1} - a^{k + 1}right), $$



which is what we wanted to show. (Switching integral/summation is justified by Fubini's Theorem).





My misunderstanding comes from them citing Theorem $5$. Why is that Theorem necessary here?

Notice that $forall x in (-r,r),$



$$f(x) = sum_{k = 0}^{infty} c_kx^k = lim_{n to infty} sum_{k = 0}^{n} c_kx^k.$$



Hence



$$int_{a}^{b} f(x) dx = int_{a}^{b} lim_{n to infty} sum_{k = 0}^{n}c_kx^k dx.$$



Now apply Theorem $5$ to pull out the limit.
