# Help with a question on Taylors Theorem

Let $g:R→R$ be a twice differentiable function satisfying $g(0)=1,g'(0)=0$ and $g''(x)−g(x)=0$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$

Fix $x \in R$. Show that there exists $M>0$ such that for all natural numbers $n$ and all $\theta$ from 0 to 1 $|g^{(n)}(\theta x)|≤M$

Also, find the coefficients of the Taylor expansion of $g$ about $0$, and prove that this expansion converges to $g(x)$ for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$.

I have proved that $g(x)$ has derivatives of all orders, not sure how to use this to proceed with the above question.

• Do you require that $M$ depends on $x$ or not? – ntt Apr 9 '17 at 16:01

Some hints: Given non-zero $x$ let $[0;x]$ denote the segment between zero and $x$. The constant $$M_x = \max\left\{ \max\{|g(t)|: t\in [0;x]\} \ , \ \max\{|g'(t)|: t\in [0;x]\} \right\}$$ should do. For the Taylor expansion use e.g. a Lagrange remainder estimate and the above constant.
• One has $g^{(2n)}(0)=1$ so for the $2n$-Taylor coff you get $1/(2n)!$. For fixed $x$ you indeed have to show that the Lagrange remainder converges to zero with $n$ (still for fixed $x$). – H. H. Rugh Apr 9 '17 at 21:56
