The sum and integral can be interchanged because the Dominated Convergence Theorem applies. The terms of the cosine power series are bounded in magnitude by 1 on the interval [0,π/2], making the constant function g(x)=1 a valid dominating function with a finite integral over the interval.
Conditions: The integration interval is [0,π/2].; The series terms are (2n)!(−1)nx2n.; The dominating function is g(x)=1.

The example is included to demonstrate that the domination hypothesis alone is insufficient if the dominating function's integral diverges. It serves as a warning that if the finite-integral condition is not met, the desired interchange of integral and sum may fail.
Conditions: The example is presented as a warning illustration on the interval [0,∞).; The function e2x dominates ex, but ∫0∞e2xdx diverges.
