Fn(z) = An[f(z) - ao]n are analytic in the same disk lzl < r, it follows
from Theorem 8.9 that F(z) is analytic in lzl < r, and that the coefficients
of any given power zn can be obtained by adding the coefficients of zn in
the Maclaurin series of the Fk(z) (k = 0, 1, 2, ... ). That the Maclaurin
series of each
is obtainable by raising the series E ajzi to the kth power, multiplying by
Ak and combining like terms follows from Theorem 8.7.
Theorem 8.10 i~ what is called an existence theorem. It show that the
power series E bnzn actually exists with a positive or infinite radius of
convergence, but except in very simple cases, the computation of the co-
efficients bn cannot be carried out in practice beyond a few beginning
terms.
Example To expa~d F(z) = esinz in powers of z. Letting w = f(z) =
sinz = z - z^3 /3! + z^5 /5! - ·^00 (lzl < oo) and g(w) = ew = 1 + w/1! +
w^2 /2! + · .. (lwl < oo), we have
