The line through that point and the origin has a slope of -1. It is perpendicular to the line you want, so the line you want has slope +1. Its equation can be written as
.. y = (x -4) -4
or, in standard form
.. x - y = 8

Find the Maclaurin series for f(x) using the definition of a Maclaurin series. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do n

Mazyrski [523]

We can use the fact that, for $|x|$ ,

$\displaystyle\frac1{1-x}=\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n$

Notice that

$\dfrac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\dfrac1{1-x}\right]=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

so that

$f(x)=\displaystyle\frac5{(1-x)^2}=5\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\left[\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n\right]$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

$f(x)=\displaystyle5\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

By the ratio test, this series converges if

$\displaystyle\lim_{n\to\infty}\left|\frac{(n+2)x^{n+1}}{(n+1)x^n}\right|=|x|\lim_{n\to\infty}\frac{n+2}{n+1}=|x|$

so the series has radius of convergence $R=1$ .

X = 29

Explanation:

Rigt angle means 90°

Here 2x + 32 = 90

so, 2x = 90 - 32

2x = 58

x = 58÷2

x = 29
