Problem

Let gg be the function g(x)=13+2xg(x)=\frac{1}{3+2x} for real numbers xx near 00. (1) Obtain a Maclaurin series for g(x)g(x) and write the first three non-zero terms. (2) Using the series from part (a), compute g′(0)g'(0) without differentiating the closed-form expression for gg. Show your work.
