Answer

\[\begin{align} & -\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( 3x \right)}^{k}}}{k}\text{ }} \\ & \left[ -\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3} \right) \\ \end{align}\]

Work Step by Step

\[\begin{align} & f\left( 3x \right)=\ln \left( 1-3x \right) \\ & \text{Using the geometric series } \\ & f\left( u \right)=\ln \left( 1-u \right)=-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{u}^{k}}}{k},\text{ for }-1\le u\le 1},\text{ then} \\ & \text{Let }u=3x \\ & \underbrace{f\left( 3x \right)}_{f\left( u \right)}=\underbrace{\ln \left( 1-3x \right)}_{\ln \left( 1-u \right)} \\ & f\left( 3x \right)=-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( 3x \right)}^{k}}}{k},\text{ }}\text{ for }-1\le 3x<1 \\ & \text{The series converges for }-1\le 3x<1,\text{ then} \\ & -1\le 3x<1 \\ & \text{Solving the inequality} \\ & -\frac{1}{3}\le x<\frac{1}{3} \\ & \text{The interval of convergence is:} \\ & \left[ -\frac{1}{3},\frac{1}{3} \right) \\ \end{align}\]
