Question

Hello,

   Though I can derive the Taylor series of 1/(1-x), I cannot prove that the x needs to be x << 1. Could you please help me with that?

 

   In addtion, how do I derive the formula for the electric field as indicated in (b)? I guess that the x is d/z... but how I can connect this info with the (a) to apply 1/(1-x) Taylor series?
