(a) Find the second-order correction to the energies (E2n) for the potential in Problem 7.1. Comment: You can sum the series explicitly, obtaining

- 2m (/hn)

for odd n.
(b) Calculate the second-order correction to the ground state energy (E20) for the potential in Problem 7.2. Check that your result is consistent with the exact solution.

- 2m (/hn)
