Evaluate the indefinite integral as a power series
∫[ln(1−t)/7t]dt.
Find the first five non-zero terms of power series representation centered at t=0.

Answer: f(t)=

What is the radius of convergence?
Answer: R= 1

Note: Remember to include a constant "C".

This problem has been difficult for me for awhile now. I have my radius but I can't figure out my five f(t) terms it's asking for.
Try to build those terms from this:

(-t^(n))/(7n^(2))

Also n=1

Hi ajkess1994,

Can you expand $\ln(1−t)$ as a MacLauren series?
Substitute it, and the rest should follow.
 
Yes, Arsen I can expan the ln(1-t) to a MacLauren series, and from there finding the "nth" terms shouldn't be too difficult, thank you for the suggestioon.
 
For original Zeta function, ζ(s)=1+1/2^s+1/3^s+1/4^s+... =1+e^(-slog2)+e^(-slog3)+e^(-slog4)+... , Re(s)>1 Riemann extended the Zeta function to the region where s≠1 using analytical extension. New Zeta function is in the form of contour integration, which appears simple but is actually more inconvenient to analyze than the original Zeta function. The original Zeta function already contains all the information about the distribution of prime numbers. So we only handle with original Zeta...
