Consider the power series f(x)=∑n=0∞x2n+12n+1f(x)=\displaystyle \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{x^{2n+1}}{2n+1}, which converges for ∣x∣<1|x|<1. Using only the first three nonzero terms of f′(x)f'(x), which of the following is the best approximation of f′(0.2)f'(0.2)? a) 1.04801.0480 b) 0.96150.9615 c) 1.04161.0416 d) 1.04001.0400
