Taylor series of product of two functions

let $f$ and $g$ be infinitley differentiable functions and $a_k = frac{f^{(k)}(a)}{k!}$ and $b_e = frac{g^{(e)}(a)}{e!}$ be cofficients of Taylor Polynomial at $a$ then what would be the coefficients of $fg$.



rather than asking my specific question I asked this general question so other can benefit too



So I think we would need to multiply the two polynomials but that's just my intuition and I don't know how to justify it and I don't think it would be as simple.

    Is it supposed to be $b_e=frac{g^{(e)}(a)}{e!}$ ? If so, look up the Cauchy Product Formula.

Your intuition is good.



Multiplying the series gives an n-th term coefficient of



$$c_n = a_0b_n + a_1b_{n-1} + dots + a_{n-1}b_1 + a_nb_0= sum_{i=0}^n a_i b_{n-i}$$



which is the same as doing the Taylor series of $fg$ the long way, since



$$c_n = frac{(fg)^{(n)}(a)}{n!} = frac{sum_{i=0}^n binom{n}{i}f^{(i)}(a)g^{(n-i)}(a)}{n!} = sum_{i=0}^n frac{f^{(i)}(a)}{i!} frac{g^{(n-i)}(a)}{(n-i)!} = sum_{i=0}^n a_i b_{n-i}$$
