Use the definition of a Taylor series to find the first four nonzero terms of the series for f(x) centered at the given value of a. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list.) f(x) = 7/1+x a=2

If f(x) = 7/(1 + x), then

f (2) = 7/3

f '(x) = -7/(x + 1)²   ==>   f ' (2) = -7/9

f ''(x) = 14/(x + 1)³   ==>   f '' (2) = 14/27

f '''(x) = -42/(x + 1)⁴   ==>   f ''' (2) = -14/27

Then the Taylor series of f(x) about a = 2 is

7/3 + 1/1! (-7/9) (x - 2) + 1/2! (14/27) (x - 2)² + 1/3! (-14/27) (x - 2)³

= 7/3 - 7/9 (x - 2) + 7/27 (x - 2)² - 7/81 (x - 2)³
