Statement
Consider a power series:
Suppose that the power series converges to a function on the interval , i.e.,:
Then, we have the following:
- If is defined and left continuous at and the power series converges for , then the value to which the power series converges equals .
- If is defined and right continuous at and the power series converges for , then the value to which the power series converges equals .
