Question 15 of 16
| Series
· Level 4
Consider the series \(\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \dfrac{n}{3^n}\).
(a) Use the Ratio Test to determine whether the series converges or diverges. Show all steps.
(b) If the series converges, explain why absolute convergence and conditional convergence are the same in this case.
(c) Using the geometric series formula \(\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} x^n = \dfrac{1}{1-x}\) for \(|x| < 1\), differentiate both sides and find a closed form for \(\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} n x^{n-1}\).
Question 16 of 16
| Series
· Level 4
Let \(f(x) = \ln(1 + x)\).
(a) Find the Maclaurin series for \(f(x) = \ln(1 + x)\) by integrating the series for \(\dfrac{1}{1+x}\).
(b) Determine the interval of convergence for the series found in part (a). Be sure to check the endpoints.
(c) Use the first four nonzero terms of the series to approximate \(\ln(1.5)\). Then use the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem to find an upper bound for the error in your approximation.
