1 Example Determine the Maclaurin series of f (x) = e x and its the interval of convergence.

2 Example Determine the Maclaurin series of f (x) = e x and its the interval of convergence. f n (0)x n Recall from yesterday that the Maclaurin series is n! where f n (x) is the n th derivative of f (x).

3 Example Determine the Maclaurin series of f (x) = e x and its the interval of convergence. f n (0)x n Recall from yesterday that the Maclaurin series is n! where f n (x) is the n th derivative of f (x). Calculate the coefficients, a 0, a 1, a 2, a 3 before clicking next.

4 Example Determine the Maclaurin series of f (x) = e x and its the interval of convergence. f n (0)x n Recall from yesterday that the Maclaurin series is n! where f n (x) is the n th derivative of f (x). Calculate the coefficients, a 0, a 1, a 2, a 3 before clicking next. f (x) = e x a 0 = e 0 = 1 f (x) = e x a 1 = e 0 = 1 f (x) = e x a 2 = e 0 = 1 f (x) = e x a 3 = e 0 = 1

5 Notice that the n th derivative of f (x) is f n (x) = e x and e 0 = 1, hence we have that the Maclaurin series is x n n!.

6 Notice that the n th derivative of f (x) is f n (x) = e x and e 0 = 1, hence we have that the Maclaurin series is x n n!. Before clicking next, determine the interval of convergence for this power series.

7 Notice that the n th derivative of f (x) is f n (x) = e x and e 0 = 1, hence we have that the Maclaurin series is x n n!. Before clicking next, determine the interval of convergence for this power series. lim a n+1 n a n = lim n = lim n ) ) ( x n+1 (n+1)! ( x n n! x n! (n + 1)! x = lim n n + 1 = 0 Hence, the interval of convergence is (, ).

8 So we have that x n n! is the Taylor (or Maclaurin) series for f (x) = e x and it is convergent for all values of x. But does this series converge to f (x) = e x? More generally, under what circumstances is a function equal to the sum of its Taylor (or Maclaurin) series?

9 So we have that x n n! is the Taylor (or Maclaurin) series for f (x) = e x and it is convergent for all values of x. But does this series converge to f (x) = e x? More generally, under what circumstances is a function equal to the sum of its Taylor (or Maclaurin) series? Recall from section 9.2 that a n = s if and only if lim k Note: ( k ) a n = s. k a n is the partial sum of the series a n.

10 This means that given the Taylor series for a function f (x), f n (c)(x c) n this converges to the original function f (x) if we can show that lim k n! ( k ) f n (c)(x c) n = f (x). n!

11 For our example with f (x) = e x, this means that its Taylor series x n n! converges to f (x) = ex if lim k ( k ) x n = e x. n!

12 For our example with f (x) = e x, this means that its Taylor series x n n! converges to f (x) = ex if Easy enough, right? lim k ( k ) x n = e x. n!

13 For our example with f (x) = e x, this means that its Taylor series x n n! converges to f (x) = ex if lim k ( k Easy enough, right? No, we re going to need some help. ) x n = e x. n!

15 No, they are no help... let s try something else.

16 Let s take a step back and go back to Taylor polynomials. Let f (x) be a function and suppose T k (x) is its k th Taylor polynomial (note this is really just a partial sum of the Taylor series for f (x)), then we can write T k (x) = k f n (c)(x c) n n! f (x) = T k (x) + R n (x) where we call R n (x) the remainder.

17 This means that the error in approximating f (x) with its k th Taylor polynomial is Error = R n (x) = f (x) T k (x).

18 This means that the error in approximating f (x) with its k th Taylor polynomial is Error = R n (x) = f (x) T k (x). This means that if we can show lim n R n(x) = 0, this would imply that lim n T k(x) = f (x), and hence our Taylor series converges to our function.

19 This means that the error in approximating f (x) with its k th Taylor polynomial is Error = R n (x) = f (x) T k (x). This means that if we can show lim n R n(x) = 0, this would imply that lim n T k(x) = f (x), and hence our Taylor series converges to our function. Thankfully, we have results that help us approximate R n (x).

20 Theorem (Taylor s Theorem) If f is a function differentiable through order n + 1 in an interval I containing x = c, then for each x in I there exists some number z between x and c so that f (x) = T k (x) + R n (x) where R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x c) n+1. (n + 1)!

21 Theorem (Taylor s Theorem) If f is a function differentiable through order n + 1 in an interval I containing x = c, then for each x in I there exists some number z between x and c so that f (x) = T k (x) + R n (x) where R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x c) n+1. (n + 1)! Note that the theorem doesn t tell us the exact value of z.

22 Back to our example with f (x) = e x whose Taylor series is x n n!.

23 Back to our example with f (x) = e x whose Taylor series is To show that the Taylor series converges to f (x) = e x we need to show that lim n R n(x) = 0. x n n!.

24 Back to our example with f (x) = e x whose Taylor series is To show that the Taylor series converges to f (x) = e x we need to show that lim n R n(x) = 0. x n n!. First, recall R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x c) n+1 (n + 1)! c = 0. = f n+1 (z)(x) n+1 (n + 1)! since

25 Back to our example with f (x) = e x whose Taylor series is To show that the Taylor series converges to f (x) = e x we need to show that lim n R n(x) = 0. First, recall R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x c) n+1 = f n+1 (z)(x) n+1 since (n + 1)! (n + 1)! c = 0. Notice that for f (x) = e x we have that f (x) = f n (x), i.e. the n th derivative of e x is still e x. Hence we have that f n+1 (x) = e x. x n n!.

26 Back to our example with f (x) = e x whose Taylor series is To show that the Taylor series converges to f (x) = e x we need to show that lim n R n(x) = 0. x n n!. First, recall R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x c) n+1 = f n+1 (z)(x) n+1 since (n + 1)! (n + 1)! c = 0. Notice that for f (x) = e x we have that f (x) = f n (x), i.e. the n th derivative of e x is still e x. Hence we have that f n+1 (x) = e x. For a fixed value of x, say x M for some M, we can say that f n+1 (z) e M.

27 Hence for a fixed value of x, say x M, we have that 0 R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x) n+1 (n + 1)! M x n+1 n! M Mn+1 (n + 1)!.

28 Hence for a fixed value of x, say x M, we have that 0 R n (x) = f n+1 (z)(x) n+1 (n + 1)! M x n+1 n! M Mn+1 (n + 1)!. Next, we want to take the limit of R n (x) as n goes to, this is simply M n+2 lim n (n + 1)! = 0 since the numerator is a fixed number and the denominator will be increasing as n is increasing.

29 Since lim n R n (x) we can conclude that the Taylor series for f (x) = e x converges to f (x) = e x, in particular x n n! = ex.

Notice that e 5x = g(f (x)) where g(x) = e x and f (x) = 5x. Hence to get the power series for e 5x we need to plug in 5x for x in the power series of e x.

Notice that ( 1) 2n+1 = 1 since 2n + 1 is always odd. Hence ( 1) n ( 1) 2n+1 = ( 1) n ( 1) = ( 1) n+1
