Expert Solution
Step 1

let f(x)=g(x)=ln(x)    centered at a=c=1

A Taylor series is given by 

f(x)=k=0f(k)(a)k!(xa)k

here a=1

 

Step 2

So, what we need to do to get the desired polynomial is to calculate the derivatives, evaluate them at the given point, and plug the results into the given formula.f(0)(x)=f(x)=ln(x)Evaluate the function at the point: f(1)=01.)Find the 1st derivative:f(1)(x)=(f(0)(x))=(ln(x))=1xEvaluate the 1st derivative at the given point: (f(1))=12).Find the 2nd derivative: f(2)(x)=(f(1)(x))=(1x)=1x2Evaluate the 2nd derivative at the given point: (f(1))′′=13).Find the  3rd derivative:f(3)x=f(2)x'=-1x2'=2x3Evaluate the 3rd derivative at the given point:f1'''=24).Find the 4th derivative:f(4)x=f(3)x'=2x3'=-6x4Evaluate the 4th derivative at the given point:f1''''=-65).Find the 5th derivative:f(5)x=f(4)x'=-6x4'=24x5Evaluate the 5th derivative at the given point:f15=24Now, use the calculated values to get a polynomial:fx00!x-10+11!x-11+-12!x-12+23!x-13+-64!x-14+245!x-15after simplifying we getfxPx=x-1-12x-12+13x-13-14x-14+15x-15
