Hello there, I couldn't find much data out there regarding the power series for the square root of x so I came up with this equation below.
Since this equation is valid for real x > 0, I want to find the corresponding equation for real x less than 0:

[math]\sqrt{x} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x(-1)^{n+1}(2n)!}{4^{n}(2n-1)(n!)^2}\left(\frac{1}{x}-1\right)^{n},\ \Re (x)>0[/math]
I would be grateful if anyone would help me with this.

Please show us what you have tried and exactly where you are stuck.

Please follow the rules of posting in this forum, as enunciated at:


Please share your work/thoughts about this problem.

[math]\sqrt{x} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x(-1)^{n+1}(2n)!}{4^{n}(2n-1)(n!)^2}\left(\frac{1}{x}-1\right)^{n},\ \Re (x)>0[/math]
 
I want to find the corresponding equation which covers the negative reals, without fractions in the exponents nor the binomial coefficient.

This is the closest I have been able to come so far:
[math]\frac{1}{\sqrt{x-4} \sqrt{x}}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(2 n)!}{(n!)^2x^{n+1}},\ \Re (x)<0[/math]

I must be missing something: since you are only talking about real [imath]x[/imath]'s what is [imath]\Re(x)[/imath] for ?
Also, I have doubts about convergence of your series for small [imath]x>0[/imath], e.g. x = 0.25.
 
It was the best series I could find at the moment, hopefully one with x^n for the above equation and one twin equation valid for complex numbers will be available. I agree it would be more correct to set x > 1 instead.

Btw, I never said the equation was invalid for complex x.
