Given that the function f(x) = x^3 is
differentiable in the interval (−2,2) us the mean
value theorem to find the value of x for which the
tangent to the curve is parrallel to the chord
through the points (−2,8) and (2,8).
Find the maximum and minimum
of the expression 𝚺_(i=1) ^n a_i x_i with
𝚺_(i=1) ^n (x_i −b_i )^2 =c^2 , where a_i , b_i and c are
constants.

Write down a series expansion for
ln [((1−2x)/((1+2x)^2 ))] in ascending powers of x
up to and including the term in x^4 .
if x is small that terms in x^2 and higher powers
are negleted show that (((1−2x)/(1+2x)))^(1/(2x)) ≅ (1 + x)e^(−3)
