we do the mclaurin's series for what we got over there.

hi bobbym
i found the general term for the coefficient with x^n to be:

That is correct. So what do you get for x^10000?

Hi;
That is correct! Actually we did not need to do any asymptotic analysis at all for this one.

That is the generating function for the Fibonacci numbers!

hi bobbym
i don't know why i failed to notice.but at least we have another way of approximating the Fibonacci numbers

Hmmm. We are certainly not going to try and eat it. We will get an asymptotic form!

asymptotic form? you mean with the big O?like mclaurin's series?

Exactly what have been doing. We want an asymptotic form for the coefficients.

oh,that.ok.
the smallest singularity is 1.when we expand around 1 we will the principal part:
so our principal part is:
when we expand that with mclaurin's series we get:
so coefficient with the general term x^n is 1/2.
this means that every coefficient in the expansion of
is approximated by 1/2.

Hi;
That is very good. Did you check to see if it is close?

hi bobbym
for smaller terms it's not very precise,e.g the first term is 1/6,but as the terms grow bigger and bigger the coefficient gets closer and closer to 1/2 which is exactly what we expected.

Do you see an immediate use for this other then the coefficients?
