Step 1 :We are asked to find the 4th order Maclaurin polynomial for the function \((\frac{2}{3})^{-\frac{1}{3}}\).
Step 2 :We can rewrite this function as \((1 - \frac{1}{3})^{-\frac{1}{3}}\). This is in the form of \((1+x)^r\) where \(x = -\frac{1}{3}\) and \(r = -\frac{1}{3}\).
Step 3 :The 4th order Maclaurin polynomial is given by the sum of the first 5 terms of the binomial series. We can calculate these terms using the binomial coefficient formula, \(\left(\begin{array}{l} r \\ n \end{array}\right) = \frac{r(r-1)(r-2)...(r-n+1)}{n!}\), and the power of x, \(x^n\).
Step 4 :Substituting the values of x and r into the binomial series, we get a polynomial value of approximately 1.1439821165472746.
Step 5 :Final Answer: The 4th order Maclaurin polynomial for the function \((\frac{2}{3})^{-\frac{1}{3}}\) is approximately \(\boxed{1.144}\).
