• B) \(S _ { 1 } ( x ) = x , S _ { 2 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 3 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 3 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 3 } + x ^ { 4 }\)
• C) \(S _ { 1 } ( x ) = x , S _ { 2 } ( x ) = x - x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 3 } ( x ) = x - x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = x - x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 } - x ^ { 4 }\)
• D) \(S _ { 1 } ( x ) = x , S _ { 2 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 3 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 } + x ^ { 4 }\)
• E) \(S _ { 1 } ( x ) = x , S _ { 2 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } , S _ { 3 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } - x ^ { 3 } , S _ { 4 } ( x ) = x + x ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 3 } - x ^ { 4 }\)
