Use the power series for 1 1−x to find a power series representation of f(x) = ln(1−x). What is the radius of convergence? (Note

: you don’t need to use the ratio test here because we know the radius of convergence of the series P∞ n=0 x n .) (b) Use part (a) to find a power series for f(x) = x ln(1 − x). (c) By putting x = 1 2 in your result from part (a), express ln 2 as the sum of an infinite series

a. Recall that

\displaystyle\int\frac{\mathrm dx}{1-x}=-\ln|1-x|+C

For |x|, we have

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

By integrating both sides, we get

\displaystyle-\ln(1-x)=C+\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}

If x=0, then

\displaystyle-\ln1=C+\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{0^{n+1}}{n+1}\implies 0=C+0\implies C=0

so that

\displaystyle\ln(1-x)=-\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}

We can shift the index to simplify the sum slightly.

\displaystyle\ln(1-x)=-\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac{x^n}n

b. The power series for x\ln(1-x) can be obtained simply by multiplying both sides of the series above by x.

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

c. We have

\ln2=-\dfrac\ln12=-\ln\left(1-\dfrac12\right)

\displaystyle\implies\ln2=\sum_{n=1}^\infty\frac1{n2^n}

The principal P is borrowed and the loan's future value A at time t is given. Determine the loan's simple interest rater.
Anni [7]
Interest rate = 7%

I= PRT where I is the interest earned, p is the principal, r is rate as a decimal, and t is time in years.


A - P will give us the interest earned.

12,150 - 9,000 = 3,150

3150 = (9000)(r)(5)
3150 = 45,000r
r = 0.07
r = 7%

Estimate 3 2/5 to the nearest integer
pickupchik [31]

4 is the nearest integer

as a decimal this number would be 3.5, which would round up to 4.
