SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on evaluating the indefinite integral ∫[ln(1−t)/7t]dt as a power series. The first five non-zero terms of the power series representation centered at t=0 can be derived by expanding ln(1−t) using the Maclaurin series. The radius of convergence for this power series is established as R=1. Participants emphasize the importance of including a constant "C" in the final expression.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Maclaurin series expansion
  • Familiarity with power series representation
  • Knowledge of indefinite integrals
  • Basic calculus concepts, particularly logarithmic functions
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to derive Maclaurin series for various functions
  • Study techniques for evaluating indefinite integrals involving logarithmic functions
  • Explore the concept of radius of convergence in power series
  • Practice finding non-zero terms in power series expansions
USEFUL FOR

Students and educators in calculus, mathematicians focusing on series expansions, and anyone interested in advanced integration techniques.

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.
 
Relativistic Momentum, Mass, and Energy Momentum and mass (...), the classic equations for conserving momentum and energy are not adequate for the analysis of high-speed collisions. (...) The momentum of a particle moving with velocity ##v## is given by $$p=\cfrac{mv}{\sqrt{1-(v^2/c^2)}}\qquad{R-10}$$ ENERGY In relativistic mechanics, as in classic mechanics, the net force on a particle is equal to the time rate of change of the momentum of the particle. Considering one-dimensional...
