Answer

$\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} (-1) (x+1)^k $

Work Step by Step

The Maclaurin Series is $ \displaystyle\sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{f^n(0)x^n} {n!} = f(0) + f'(0)x + \frac{(f''(0)x^2)}{2!} + ..\\ $ $f(x)=\dfrac{1}{x}$ Differentiate $f'(x)=\dfrac{-1}{x^2}$ $f''(x)=\dfrac{2}{x^3}$ $f'''(x)=\dfrac{-6}{x^4}$ Now $f(-1)=-1$ , $f'(-1)=-1$ , $f''(-1)=-2$, $f'''(-1)=-6$ Hence the Maclaurin Series for the function is $\displaystyle -1-(x+1)-(x+1^2- .......- (x+1)^n =\Sigma_{k=0}^{\infty} (-1) (x+1)^k $
