SUMMARY
The Taylor Expansion presented is x + (x^2)/2 + (x^3)/3 + (x^4)/4 + (x^5)/5 + (...), which converges to the function -ln(1-x). This conclusion is confirmed by multiple participants in the discussion, establishing the relationship between the series and the logarithmic function. Understanding this expansion is crucial for applications in calculus and mathematical analysis.
