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}

What is the answer and why is it that answer
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

73+107 = 180. When the smaller of the two angles is 73 all of the smaller angles are also going to be 73 and since the angles MTS and STN are bigger angles they both have to be 107

The heights in cm of some pupils are
tatuchka [14]

The median is a halfway point in the set of data.

List the numbers in order from smallest to largest:

111, 129, 144, 149, 152, 162, 166, 171

Because there are an even number of values in the data set, find the two middle numbers, add them together and then divide by 2:

Median = ( 149 + 152 ) /2

Median = 150.5

How do you solve for a variable?
Lynna [10]

Answer:

C. Get it by itself

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving for a variable, whether it be an inequality, a factor, or an algebraic expression. Getting the specified variable by itself is the most effective and best way to get that answer to your question. The other two answers here do not make any sense whatsoever.

How do I write a recursive formula for this sequence? 2, 6, 18, 54, 162, ... I already know the common difference is x3.
dmitriy555 [2]
For the sequence 2, 6, 18, 54, ..., the explicit formula is: an = a1 ! rn"1 = 2 ! 3n"1 , and the recursive formula is: a1 = 2, an+1 = an ! 3 . In each case, successively replacing n by 1, 2, 3, ... will yield the terms of the sequence. See the examples below.
