Answer

\[\begin{align} & -\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( -4x \right)}^{k}}}{k}\text{ }} \\ & \left( -\frac{1}{4},\frac{1}{4} \right] \\ \end{align}\]

Work Step by Step

$\begin{align} & f\left( -4x \right)=\ln \left( 1+4x \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=-4x \\ & \underbrace{f\left( -4x \right)}_{f\left( u \right)}=\underbrace{\ln \left( 1-\left( -4x \right) \right)}_{\ln \left( 1-u \right)} \\ & f\left( -4x \right)=-\sum\limits_{k=1}^{\infty }{\frac{{{\left( -4x \right)}^{k}}}{k},\text{ }}\text{ for }-1\le -4x<1 \\ & \text{The series converges for }-1\le -4x<1,\text{ then} \\ & -1\le -4x<1 \\ & \text{Solving the inequality} \\ & -\frac{1}{-4}\ge x>\frac{1}{-4} \\ & \frac{1}{4}\ge x>-\frac{1}{4} \\ & or \\ & -\frac{1}{4}
