A) The Taylor series for a function f(x) continuously differentiable at x=a is given by,f(x)=f(a)+(x−a)1!f′(a)+(x−a)22!f″(a)+(x−a)33!f‴(a)...Heref(x)=log3⁡(x+1)a=0,Substitute the values,f(x)=f(a)+(x−a)1!f′(a)+(x−a)22!f″(a)+(x−a)33!f‴(a)...log3⁡(x+1)=log3⁡(x+1)+x1!(1(x+1)log⁡3)+x22×1(−1(x+1)2log⁡3)+x33×2×1[−(−2(x+1)3log⁡3)]...=log⁡(x+1)log⁡(3)+x(x+1)log⁡3−x22(x+1)2log⁡3+x33(x+1)3log⁡3...The first four terms of the Taylor&#039;s expansion of f(x)=log3⁡(x+1) are respectively,log⁡(x+1)log3,x(x+1)log⁡3,x22(x+1)2log⁡3,x33(x+1)3log⁡3B) The power series for the above Taylor&#039;s expansion is given by,log3⁡(x+1)=∑n=0∞{(x−a)nn!⋅fn(a)}Re-arrange the series,log3⁡(x+1)=x(x+1)log⁡(3)+x(x+1)log⁡(3)−1log⁡(3)[x22(x+1)2−x33(x+1)3+x44(x+1)4−x55(x+1)5+x66(x+1)6...]=x(x+1)log⁡(3)+x(x+1)log⁡(3)−1log⁡(3)∑n=2∞[xnn(x+1)n⋅(−1)n]The series will be converging if the term ∑n=2∞[xnn(x+1)n⋅(−1)n] is converging,Let
