We observe that f'(x)=-1(1+x2) and find the required series by integrating the power series for -1(1+x2).
arccot(x)=-1(1+x2)dx
=-(1-+x4-+dots)dx
=c-x+,-x55+
To find C, we put x=0 and obtain C=arccot(0)=2. Therefore we have the following.
=2-x+
-x55+
=2-n=0(-1)nx2n+12n+1
Since the radius of convergence of the series for -1(1+x2) is the radius of convergence of this series is also
We observe that f ' ( x ) = - 1 ( 1 + x 2 ) and
