If 0 < x < 1 and y = 1 2 x 2 + 2 3 x 3 + 3 4 x 4 + … … , then the value of e 1 + y at x…

If 0<x<1 and y=12x2+23x3+34x4+, then the value of e1+y at x=12 is:
  1. 12e2
  2. 2e
  3. 2e2
  4. 12e

Solution

If 0<x<1 and y=12x2+23x3+34x4+

y=12x2+23x3+34x4+

y=1-12x2+1-13x3+1-14x4+·
=x2+x3+x4+-x22+x33+x44+
=x21-x+x-x+x22+x33+x44+

=x1-x+n(1-x)
Put x=12

y=1-n2

Then, e1+y=e1+1-n2

=12e2
