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 logarithmic function represents the data in the table? x f(x) 25 2 125 3 625 4
Ray Of Light [21]
\bf recall\\\\
log_{{  a}}{{  b}}=y \iff {{  a}}^y={{  b}}\qquad\qquad 
{{  a}}^y={{  b}}\iff log_{{  a}}{{  b}}=y \\\\
-----------------------------\\\\
thus\qquad 
\begin{array}{cc|llll}
x&y&5^y=x\\
\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash&\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\textendash\\
25&2&5^2=25\\
125&3&5^3=125\\
625&4&5^4=625\\
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\textit{so hmmm what would that be in log notation? }\  5^y=x \iff \boxed{?}

For the graph 2x - 3y - 7 = 0 <br> determine the coordinates of the axes intercepts.
Sliva [168]

Answer:

X intercept: (7/2, 0)

Y intercept: (0, -7/3)

Step-by-step explanation: Add 7 to both sides. We get 2x-3y=7

Now, plug in zero for y, and we are left with 2x = 7 (the y cancels.) Dividing by 2 leaves us 7/2, and (0, 7/2)

Now starting back to 2x-3y=7

Plug in zero for x, and we are legt with -3y = 7 (the x cancels.) Divide by -3, and we get -7/3 and (-7/3, 0)
