Hello, i need to find the power series for the function centered at c=-3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=\frac{ 1 }{ 2x-5 }\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

have you tried graphing that?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what i need help with is writing it as a series centered at -3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so set the value of either x or y at -3 and see where it intersects

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i dont think that applicable here, this is calculus 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

worked for me, are you over thinking it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can you show me how you did it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well first I graphed the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, then

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then I got something very similar to what was in my algebra one book a few years ago

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then I said you were over thinking it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, this is not algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

All calculus is is more advanced algebra

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Without algebra the fundamentals of calculus would not exist

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is there a way you can show me the process to how you did it? what is your final answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I'm not going to tell you the answer but break down the equation to the most basic of forms then write out the function that makes it work. I have to go eat dinner now so I can't help

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay, thanks for your help
