[See Solution] (a) Find the Taylor series expansion for y= sin ^-1 x where sin ^-1 x=∫_0^x (d t)/(√1-t^2), x ∈ [-1,1] (b) Let y= sin ^-1


Question: (a) Find the Taylor series expansion for \(y=\sin ^{-1} x\) where

\[\sin ^{-1} x=\int_{0}^{x} \frac{d t}{\sqrt{1-t^{2}}}, x \in[-1,1]\]

(b) Let \(y=\sin ^{-1} x\). Observe that at \(x=0, y=0\) and at \(x=1, y=\) \(\pi / 2\). Use the series expansion in part (a) to obtain an infinite series expansion of

\[S=\int_{0}^{1} \sin ^{-1} x \int_{0}^{x} \frac{d t}{\sqrt{1-t^{2}}} d x\]

You will have to integrate by parts to obtain a recurrence formula for the integrals. You may check the values in Mathematica.

(c) Show that the sum of the series in part (b) is

\[S=\frac{\pi^{2}}{8}\]

by evaluating \(S=\int_{0}^{\pi / 2} y d y\)

(d) Deduce Euler's result that

\[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{n^{2}}=\frac{\pi^{2}}{6}\]
