Solve the problem.

The seriesx2 3 4 3. 2.


can be used to approximate the value of ln (1 + x) for values of x in (-1, 1]. Use the first six terms of this series to approximate each expression. Compare this approximation with the value obtained on a calculator.

(a) ln 1.02 (x = 0.02) 

(b) ln 0.97 (x = -0.03)
