$$F(x) = sum_n=0^infty frac(x+1)^n+1n+1$$



I found the following values after differentiating:



$$
(x+1)^n, n(x+1)^n-1, n(n-1)(x+1)^n-2
$$



It looks a lot like the Sum for $F(x)= 1/(1-x)$, but i'm not sure where to proceed from here. Thanks for your help.

          With differentiating of
          $$f(x)=sum_ngeq0dfrac(x+1)^n+1n+1$$
          we have
          $$f'(x)=sum_ngeq0(x+1)^n=dfrac11-(x+1)=-dfrac1x$$
          valid for $|x+1|<1$, then with integration of both sides
          $$f(x)=int_-1^xdfrac1-t dt=-ln(-x)$$

          • Since I found the radius of convergence to be [-2, 0), would I then plug in (-2) such as f(x) = -ln(-(-2)) = -ln(2) ?
