The problem is to determine the radius of convergence of the Taylor Series for each of the functions below centered at x. We are to explain our conclusion in each case. I would like to see how to work each problem (including what the Taylor Series is) and what the explanation is.

a) centered at and

NOTE: I know the function has a removable singularity at 0 and it can be redefined to the following:

But I'm confused by how to represent the Taylor series. I do know the power series representation for this and I believe that it converges between (-1,1) with radius 1. I'm not sure if this applies or not.

b) ln(x), centered at and

c) centered at

  • "Your solution, looks excellent. I recognize things from previous chapters. I have seen the standard deviation formula you used to get 5.154. I do understand the Central Limit Theorem needs the sample size (n) to be greater than 30, we have 100. I do understand the sample mean(s) of the population will follow a normal distribution, and that CLT states the sample mean of population is the population (mean), we have 143.74. But when and WHY do we use the standard deviation formula where you got 5.154. WHEN & Why use standard deviation of the sample mean. I don't understand, why don't we simply use the "100" I understand that standard deviation is the square root of variance. I do understand that the variance is the square of the differences of each sample data value minus the mean. But somehow, why not use 100, why use standard deviation of sample mean? Please help explain."
