Homework Statement



Find the MacLaurin series expansion of f(x)=(x^3)/(x+2). Find also the higher derivative f(10)(0)

Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution



I'm not sure how to approach this question. The derivative of f(x) becomes larger and larger and I'm not sure how to calculate the higher derivative.

Hint:

[tex]\frac{1}{1-x}=1+x+x^2+x^3+...[/tex]

Can you use this to find the power series of

[tex]\frac{1}{x+2}[/tex]
