(a) \(R=1,\) which is the distance from the origin to \(z=-1\)
(b) Using Taylor's Theorem [or integrating the series for \(1 /(1+z)]\) we
obtain for \(R=1\)
$$\operatorname{Ln}(1+z)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{k} z^{k}$$
(c) By replacing \(z\) in part
$$\operatorname{Ln}(1+z)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{k+1}}{k} z^{k}$$
(c) By replacing \(z\) in part (b) by \(-z\) we obtain for \(R=1\)
$$\operatorname{Ln}(1-z)=-\sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{z^{k}}{k}$$
(d) One way of obtaining the Maclaurin series for
\(\operatorname{Ln}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)\) is to use Taylor's Theorem.
Alternatively, let us write
$$\operatorname{Ln}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)=\operatorname{Ln}(1+z)-L(1-z)$$
and subtract the series in parts (b) and (c). This gives for the common circle
of convergence \(|z|=1\)
$$\operatorname{Ln}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)=2 z+\frac{2}{3}
z^{3}+\frac{2}{5} z^{5}+\frac{2}{7} z^{7}+\cdots=2 \sum_{k=0}^{\infty}
\frac{1}{(2 k+1)} z^{2 k+1}$$
But recall that in general \(\operatorname{Ln}\left(z_{1} / z_{2}\right) \neq
\operatorname{Ln} z_{1}-\operatorname{Ln} z_{2}\) since \(\operatorname{Ln}
z_{1}\) and \(\operatorname{Ln} z_{2}\) could differ by a constant multiple of \(i
.\) That is, \(\operatorname{Ln} z_{1}-\operatorname{Ln} z_{2}=C i\) for some \(C
.\) So
$$\operatorname{Ln}\left(\frac{1+z}{1-z}\right)=\operatorname{Ln}(1+z)-\operatorname{Ln}(1-z)-C
i$$
When \(z=0\) we obtain \(\operatorname{Ln} 1=\operatorname{Ln}
1-\operatorname{Ln} 1-C i .\) since \(\operatorname{Ln} 1=0\) we get \(C=0\)
