Problem Use the formula: $\tanh^{-1} x = \frac{1}{2} \ln \left( \frac{1+x}{1-x} \right)$ $-1 < x < 1$ and the Maclaurin series for $\ln(1+x)$ to show that $\tanh^{-1} x = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{x^{2n+1}}{2n+1}$

Step 1
Step 1: Start with the given formula ln(1+x)tanh^(-1)x=\sum_(n=0)^(∞) (x^(2n+1))/(2n+1)tanh^(-1)x=(1)/(2)ln((1+x)/(1-x)),-1 and the Maclaurin series for ln(1+x). Show more…

Questions of convergence and accuracy in computation
Show that the Maclaurin series for $\sin x$ converges to $\sin x$. Hint : If $f(x)=\sin x$, $f^{(n+1)}(x)=\pm \sin x$ or $\pm \cos x$, and so $\left|f^{(n+1)}(x)\right| \leq 1$ for all $x$ and all $n$. Let $n \rightarrow \infty$ in $(14.2)$
Use a Maclaurin series in Table 1 to obtain the Maclaurin series for the given function. $f(x)=x^{2} \tan ^{-1}\left(x^{3}\right)$
