The Taylor series for \(\dfrac{z}{z^{2} + 1}\) around 0 is :

  • A.\(z + z^{3} + z^{5} + \ldots\)
  • B.\(z - \dfrac{z^{3}}{3!} + \dfrac{z^{5}}{5!} - \ldots\)
  • C.\(z - z^{3} + z^{5} - \ldots\)
  • D.\(z - \dfrac{z^{3}}{3} + \dfrac{z^{5}}{5} - \ldots\)

Answer: C

The Taylor series is \(z - z^{3} + z^{5} - \ldots\).

For \(|z| \lt 1\), expand \(1/(1 + z^{2})\) as a geometric series and multiply by \(z\):

\[ \begin{aligned} \frac{z}{1 + z^{2}} &= z(1 - z^{2} + z^{4} - \ldots) \\ &= z - z^{3} + z^{5} - \ldots \end{aligned} \]

The radius of convergence is 1, the distance from 0 to the poles at \(\pm i\).

\(z - z^{3}/3! + z^{5}/5! - \ldots\) is \(\sin z\); \(z - z^{3}/3 + z^{5}/5 - \ldots\) is \(\tan^{-1} z\), which is the integral of \(1/(1 + z^{2})\), not \(z/(1 + z^{2})\); and \(z + z^{3} + z^{5} + \ldots\) is \(z/(1 - z^{2})\).
