直接连续求三次导。每次都要乘上内层 5+3x 的导数 3。
答题过程

Given
y=ln(5+3x).
Differentiate:
dxdy==5+3x33(5+3x)−1.
Differentiate again:
dx2d2y==3(−1)(5+3x)−2⋅3−9(5+3x)−2.
So
dx3d3y===−9(−2)(5+3x)−3⋅354(5+3x)−3(5+3x)354.
Therefore
dx3d3y=(5+3x)354.

Maclaurin 展开需要 x=0 处的函数值和导数值:
f(x)=f(0)+xf′(0)+2!x2f′′(0)+3!x3f′′′(0)+⋯.
答题过程
展开
At x=0,
y(0)=y′(0)=y′′(0)=y′′′(0)=ln5,53,−259,12554.
Using the Maclaurin series,
ln(5+3x)==ln5+53x+2!1(−259)x2+3!1(12554)x3+⋯ln5+53x−509x2+1259x3+⋯.
Thus
ln(5+3x)=ln5+53x−509x2+1259x3+⋯.
(c)
解法一
思路
展开
ln(5−3x) 可以由 (b) 中的 ln(5+3x) 把 x 换成 −x 得到。偶次项符号不变,奇次项符号改变。
答题过程
展开
Replace x by −x in the expansion from part (b):
ln(5−3x)==ln5+53(−x)−509(−x)2+1259(−x)3+⋯ln5−53x−509x2−1259x3+⋯.
Therefore
ln(5−3x)=ln5−53x−509x2−1259x3+⋯.
(d)
解法一
思路
展开
先用对数性质:
ln(5−3x5+3x)=ln(5+3x)−ln(5−3x).
然后把 (b) 和 (c) 的级数相减。常数项和 x2 项会抵消,留下前两个非零项。
答题过程
展开
Using
ln(5−3x5+3x)=ln(5+3x)−ln(5−3x),
we get
ln(5−3x5+3x)==(ln5+53x−509x2+1259x3+⋯)−(ln5−53x−509x2−1259x3+⋯)56x+12518x3+⋯.
Therefore the first two non-zero terms are
56x+12518x3.
