Abstract
This chapter contains applications of the previous one. Examples are two quadratic q-hypergeometric transformations. Most of the summation formulas are given both in q-hypergeometric form and in q-binomial coefficient form for convenience. We use the q-analogue of Euler’s mirror formula to prove a summation formula. We give another proof of the q-Dixon formula by means of yet another q-analogue of Kummer’s first summation formula. We find a q-analogue of Truesdell’s function and its functional equation. The Bailey transformation for q-series is of great theoretical interest. We find a q-Taylor formula with Lagrange remainder term. Finally, bilateral q-hypergeometric series are treated.
