    \[{{\log }_{e}}x\]is equal to:

    A) \[(x-1)-\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{{{(x-1)}^{3}}}{3}-....\infty \]

    B)  0                            

    C)         1                            

    D)  none of the above

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Key Idea: The series of \[log\,(1+x)\] is \[x-\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{{{x}^{2}}}{3}-\frac{{{x}^{4}}}{4}+....\]                 Now, \[{{\log }_{e}}x={{\log }_{e}}(1+(x-1))\]                 \[=(x-1)-\frac{{{(x-1)}^{2}}}{2}+\frac{{{(x-1)}^{3}}}{3}-....\] Note: the series of \[\log \,(1+x)\]is defined only when \[-1<x<1.\]
