Homework Statement
Find first three non zero terms in series expansion where the argument of funstion is small
ln(5+p)
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
The only way I could think how to do this is by saying ln(5+p) = ln(1+(4+p)) and expanding to
(4+p)- 1/2(4+p)^2 + 1/3(4+p)^3 - ... however, I imagine that this would only work if p was approx -4.
