calculus - Closed form expression for infinite series


I was given the following function:


f(x)=x+2x313+24x5135+246x71357...

x[0,1)



And then I was asked to find the value of f(12), which obviously requires me to compute the closed form expression of the infinite series.


I tried 'Integration as a limit of sum' but I was unable to modify the expression accordingly. How do I approach the problem?


Answer



Another answer. We use formulas π/20sin2n+1sds=(2n)!!(2n+1)!!,

k=0z2k+1=z1z2,|z|<1.
Then f(x)=n=0x2n+1(2n)!!(2n+1)!!=n=0x2n+1π/20sin2n+1sds=π/20(n=0(xsins)2n+1)ds=π/20xsins1x2sin2sds=11x2arctan(x1x2)
We get f(12)=2arctan1=2π4
