Answer

$T (3x)=21+35x+24(x-2)^2+8(x-2)^3+.......$; converges for all $x$ with convergence interval $(-\infty,\infty)$.

Work Step by Step

The Taylor`s Series can be represented as: : $T(x)=\Sigma_{n = 0}^{\infty} \dfrac{f^n (c)}{n!}(x-c)^n$ If we consider $c=0$, then Taylor`s Series, $T(x)$ is also called as Maclaurin Series and the Maclaurin series for $f(x)$ is as given below: $f(x)=f(0)+f^{\prime}(0) x+\dfrac{f^{\prime \prime}(0) x^2}{2!}+\dfrac{f^{\prime \prime \prime}(0) x^3}{3!}+\dfrac{f^{\prime \prime \prime \prime}(0) x^4}{4!}+..............$ Here, we have $f(x)=x^4+3x-1 \implies f(2)=21\\ f'(x)=4x^3+3 \implies f'(2)=35\\f''(x)=12x^2 \implies f''(2)=48\\f'''(x)=24x \implies f'''(2)=48\\f''''(x)=24 \implies f^{iv}(2)=24$ Thus, we have the Taylor`s Series: $T (3x)=21+35x+24(x-2)^2+8(x-2)^3+.......$; converges for all $x$ with convergence interval $(-\infty,\infty)$.
