The Pythagorean theorem states that if two side lengths of a(n) triangle are known, the length of the third side can be found.

Proceed as in example 3 in section 6.1 to rewrite the given expression using a single power series whose general term involves xk. ∞ n(n − 1)cnxn − 2 n = 2 − 4 ∞ ncnxn n = 1 + ∞ cnxn n = 0
