    POWER SERIES cont…

    Taylor and Maclaurin Series and Working with Taylor Series


    (Sections 6.3/6.4; Book 2) cont…
    Recall: Last day, we introduced the concept of Taylor series and Maclaurin series and

    f n (a)
    learned that we can write f ( x) = 
    n=0 n!
    ( x − a)n .

    ( −1) n 2 n

    Example: Given that the Maclaurin series for f ( x ) = cos x is  x , find the
    n =0 ( 2 n ) !
    series expansion for f ( x ) = cos( x ) and write out the 1st 4 terms.

    Maclaurin series:

    1st 4 terms:

    Finally, let’s use all this new knowledge to help us do some Calculus…these series can
    help evaluate or approximate complicated integrals and limits!!!

    Example: How would we approximate e

    Example: Find lim .

    Note: You may use the fact that sin x =  x
    n =0 ( 2 n + 1) !

    Question: How accurate are our approximations?

    n
    f (i ) (a)
    Define the Taylor Polynomial as Tn ( x) = 
    i =0 i!
    ( x − a ) i and the Remainder as


    f ( i ) (a )
    Rn ( x) = f ( x) − Tn ( x) = 
    i = n +1 i!
    ( x − a) i

    Then we have:

    Taylor’s Inequality: If f
    ( n +1)
    ( x )  M for x − a  d , then the remainder Rn ( x ) of
    the Taylor series satisfies the inequality:
    M n +1
    Rn ( x )  x−a x−a  d
    ( n + 1)! for

    Example: If we want to approximate e between x = 0 and x = 1 with 0.01 accuracy
    using its Maclaurin series expansion, how many terms should we use?
