Find a formula for the power series of f(x) = 5ln(1+x), -1 < x < 1 in the form sigma an. Hint: First, find the power series for g(x) = 5/(1+x). Then integrate.
Added by Thomas J.
Step 1
The power series for g(x) = 5/(1+x) can be found using the geometric series formula: g(x) = 5 * (1 - x + x^2 - x^3 + ...) Show more…

Find a formula for the power series of f(x) = 2ln(1 + x), -1 < x < 1 in the form ÎŁ a_n. Hint: First, find the power series for g(x) = 2 / (1 + x). Then integrate. (Express numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed.)
