Answer:

The Taylor series is \ln(x) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{(x-3)^n}{3^n n}.

The radius of convergence is R=3.

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>The Taylor expansion.</em>

Recall that as we want the Taylor series centered at a=3 its expression is given in powers of (x-3). With this in mind we need to do some transformations with the goal to obtain the asked Taylor series from the Taylor expansion of \ln(1+x).

Then,

\ln(x) = \ln(x-3+3) = \ln(3(\frac{x-3}{3} + 1 )) = \ln 3 + \ln(1 + \frac{x-3}{3}).

Now, in order to make a more compact notation write \frac{x-3}{3}=y. Thus, the above expression becomes

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \ln(1+y).

Notice that, if x is very close from 3, then y is very close from 0. Then, we can use the Taylor expansion of the logarithm. Hence,  

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \ln(1+y) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{y^n}{n}.

Now, substitute \frac{x-3}{3}=y in the previous equality. Thus,

\ln(x) = \ln 3 + \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (-1)^{n+1} \frac{(x-3)^n}{3^n n}.

<em>Radius of convergence.</em>

We find the radius of convergence with the Cauchy-Hadamard formula:

R^{-1} = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sqrt[n]{|a_n|},

Where a_n stands for the coefficients of the Taylor series and R for the radius of convergence.

In this case the coefficients of the Taylor series are

a_n = \frac{(-1)^{n+1}}{ n3^n}

and in consequence |a_n| = \frac{1}{3^nn}. Then,

\sqrt[n]{|a_n|} = \sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{3^nn}}

Applying the properties of roots

\sqrt[n]{|a_n|} = \frac{1}{3\sqrt[n]{n}}.

Hence,

R^{-1} = \lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \frac{1}{3\sqrt[n]{n}} =\frac{1}{3}

Recall that

\lim_{n\rightarrow\infty} \sqrt[n]{n}=1.

So, as R^{-1}=\frac{1}{3} we get that R=3.

Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the necessary diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

Note in the attachment,

We have two identical straight line of lenght

L1 = L2 = 84.39m

We also have two identical semicircle or radius 36.5m to the first track lane

But this is not the radius of the circle, the radius of the circle will now be 36.5 plus the 6 track lane and we are told that one track lane is 1m, then, the track lane is 6m

So, radius = 36.5+6

r = 42.5m

Then, we need to calculate the perimeter of the semicircle using the formula of perimeter of a circle and dividing by2

P = 2πr/2

P =πr

P = 22/7 × 42.5

P = 133.57 m

Then, the arc 1 is equal to arc 2 which is equal to 133.57 m

A1 = A2 = 133.57 m

Now we have all the dimensions,

Then, the perimeter can be calculated by adding the length of the sides

The perimeter of the field = Lenght of the two straight lines plus the length of the two semicircle arc

P = L1 + L2 + A1 + A2

P = 84.39 + 84.39 + 133.57 + 133.57

P =435.923 m

So, to the nearest meter

P ≈ 436m

The perimeter of the track is 436m

Find the value of x.<br> to<br> 95°<br> 135
Dvinal [7]

The given angles are 95° and 135, and the value of x is 40.

<h3>What is the angle sum property?</h3>

The angle sum property of a triangle states that the sum of the interior angles of a triangle is 180 degrees.

The given angles are 95° and 135.

Let's consider the adjacent angle of 135 to be z.

So, as we can see that both angles make a linear pair.

z + 135 = 180

z = 180 - 135

z = 45

Let's consider the interior angle to be y.

then,

y = 95 ( vertically opposite angle)

Now, The angle sum property

x + y + z = 180

x = 180 - 95 + 45

x = 40

Thus, the value of x is 40.
