(a)Starting with the expansion 1/ (1-s) = and observing that
'
obtain the Taylor series for 1/xabout x0= 1.
(b)Since use the result of part (a) and termwise integration to obtain the Taylor series for f (x)=lnxaboutx0= 1.
Pendulum with Varying Length. A pendulum is formed by a mass m attached to the end of a wire that is attached to the ceiling. Assume that the length l(t)of the wire varies with time in some predetermined fashion. If
U(t) is the angle in radians between the pendulum and the vertical, then the motion of the pendulum is governed for small angles by the initial value problem where g is the acceleration due to gravity. Assume that where is much smaller than . (This might be a model for a person on a swing, where the pumping action changes the distance from the center of mass of the swing to the point where the swing is attached.) To simplify the computations, take g = 1. Using the Runge– Kutta algorithm with h = 0.1, study the motion of the pendulum when . In particular, does the pendulum ever attain an angle greater in absolute value than the initial angle ?
Verify that the function is a solution to the linear equation for any choice of the constants and. Determine and so that each of the following initial conditions is satisfied.

(b) f(x)/g(x)is analytic at x0.
(c) f'(x)is analytic at x0.
(d) is analytic at x0.
Using the Runge–Kutta algorithm for systems with h = 0.05, approximate the solution to the initial value problem at t=1.
