First you have to put it into slope intercept form. You have to put it into y = mx + b then m is the slope and b is the y intercept on the graph.

The slope is 2/5. You find this by putting the y term alone on the left and diving to get y=2/5x-9/5.

Derivative Rule [Quotient Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [\frac{f(x)}{g(x)} ]=\frac{g(x)f'(x)-g'(x)f(x)}{g^2(x)}$

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]: $\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

MacLaurin/Taylor Polynomials

Approximating Transcendental and Elementary functions
MacLaurin Polynomial: $\displaystyle P_n(x) = \frac{f(0)}{0!} + \frac{f'(0)}{1!}x + \frac{f''(0)}{2!}x^2 + \frac{f'''(0)}{3!}x^3 + ... + \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n$
Taylor Polynomial: $\displaystyle P_n(x) = \frac{f(c)}{0!} + \frac{f'(c)}{1!}(x - c) + \frac{f''(c)}{2!}(x - c)^2 + \frac{f'''(c)}{3!}(x - c)^3 + ... + \frac{f^{(n)}(c)}{n!}(x - c)^n$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note: I will not be showing the work for derivatives as it is relatively straightforward. If you request for me to show that portion, please leave a comment so I can add it. I will also not show work for elementary calculations.

Step 1: Define

Identify

f(x) = ln(1 - x)

Center: x = 0

n = 3

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] 1st Derivative: $\displaystyle f'(x) = \frac{1}{x - 1}$
[Function] 2nd Derivative: $\displaystyle f''(x) = \frac{-1}{(x - 1)^2}$
[Function] 3rd Derivative: $\displaystyle f'''(x) = \frac{2}{(x - 1)^3}$

Step 3: Evaluate Functions

Substitute in center x [Function]: $\displaystyle f(0) = ln(1 - 0)$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f(0) = 0$
Substitute in center x [1st Derivative]: $\displaystyle f'(0) = \frac{1}{0 - 1}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'(0) = -1$
Substitute in center x [2nd Derivative]: $\displaystyle f''(0) = \frac{-1}{(0 - 1)^2}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f''(0) = -1$
Substitute in center x [3rd Derivative]: $\displaystyle f'''(0) = \frac{2}{(0 - 1)^3}$
Simplify: $\displaystyle f'''(0) = -2$

Step 4: Write Taylor Polynomial

Substitute in derivative function values [MacLaurin Polynomial]: $\displaystyle P_3(x) = \frac{0}{0!} + \frac{-1}{1!}x + \frac{-1}{2!}x^2 + \frac{-2}{3!}x^3$
Simplify: $\displaystyle P_3(x) = -x - \frac{x^2}{2} - \frac{x^3}{3}$
