Suppose that f(x) and g(x) are given by the power series:f(x)= 4+ 2x + 4x^2 + 2x^3+⋯ and g(x)= 2+ 5x + 3x^2 + 3x^3+⋯By multiplying power series, find the first few terms of the series for the product h(x) = f(x) * g(x)= c0 + c1x + c2x^2 + c3x^3+⋯

Answer:c0 = 8c1 = 24c2 = 30c3 = 42Step-by-step explanation:It is convenient to notice that the pattern of coefficients that need to be multiplied and summed is a pattern of Xs.For the constant, c0, only the constants need to be multiplied.   c0 = 4·2 = 8__For the x-term coefficient, the constant of one series needs to be multiplied by the x-term of the other, and the two products added.   c1 = 4·5 +2·2   c1 = 24If you draw real or imagined lines between the coefficients being multiplied, you see that they form an X.__For the x²-term coefficient, the above X gets wider, and a vertical | is added. That is constant multiplies x² term and x-term multiplies x-term. The sum has three terms:   c2 = 4·3 +2·4 +2·5   c2 = 30__For the x³ term, there are now two Xs, one wide and one narrower. Constant terms multiply x³ terms and x-terms multiply x² terms.   c3 = 4·3 +2·2 +2·3 +5·4   c3 = 42_____This sort of pattern of Xs can be used wherever polynomials (or multidigit numbers) are multiplied. It can help you ensure that all of the products that need to be included in a sum are accounted for.
