I guess the function is

f(x)=\dfrac6{(1-x)^2}

Rather than computing derivatives of f, recall that for |x|, we have

g(x)=\dfrac1{1-x}=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n

Notice that

g'(x)=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}

so that f(x)=6g'(x). Then

f(x)=6\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty nx^{n-1}=6\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}=6\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n

also valid only for |x|, so that the radius of convergence is 1.

Steps to solve: 28x - 12 + 2x - 4 - x
Musya8 [376]

Let's simplify by step

28x-12+2x-4-x

28x+-12+2x+-4+-x

Combine like terms

28x+-12+2x+-4+-x

(28x+2x+-x)+(-12+-4)

29x+-16

= 29x-16


I hope that's help !

Find the Taylor series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. [Assume that f has a power series expansion. Do not show that
FromTheMoon [43]

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.
