3 Point estimation Recall Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

4 Point estimation Recall Recall that f (x) = T N (x) + R N (x), where T N is the Taylor polynomial of order N centered at a point a and R N is the remainder. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

5 Point estimation Recall Recall that f (x) = T N (x) + R N (x), where T N is the Taylor polynomial of order N centered at a point a and R N is the remainder. The polynomial T N (x) approximates f (x); the error in the approximation is f (x) T N (x) = R N (x) = f (N+1) (z) (N + 1)! x a N+1, where z is a number between a and x. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

6 Point estimation Recall Recall that f (x) = T N (x) + R N (x), where T N is the Taylor polynomial of order N centered at a point a and R N is the remainder. The polynomial T N (x) approximates f (x); the error in the approximation is f (x) T N (x) = R N (x) = f (N+1) (z) (N + 1)! x a N+1, where z is a number between a and x. If M is a number bounding f (N+1) (z), then f (x) T N (x) M (N + 1)! x a N+1. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

7 Point estimation Problem Use a Taylor polynomial of order 2 centered at a = 4 to estimate 4.1. Use the remainder to bound the error in this approximation. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

9 Point estimation Let f (x) = x. We will construct T 2 for f and a = 4. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

10 Point estimation Let f (x) = x. We will construct T 2 for f and a = 4. It is not hard to show that T 2 (x) = 2 + (1/4)(x 4) (1/64)(x 4) 2. Thus 4.1 T2 (4.1) = = Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

11 Point estimation Let f (x) = x. We will construct T 2 for f and a = 4. It is not hard to show that T 2 (x) = 2 + (1/4)(x 4) (1/64)(x 4) 2. Thus 4.1 T2 (4.1) = = The error in the approximation is analyzed on the next slide. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

12 Point estimation (Continued) Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

13 Point estimation (Continued) To bound the error we need to first bound f (3) (z) for 4 < z < 4.1. But f (3) (z) = 3 8z 5/2 4 < z < 4.1 Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

14 Point estimation (Continued) To bound the error we need to first bound f (3) (z) for 4 < z < 4.1. But f (3) (z) = 3 8z 5/2 4 < z < 4.1 Since f (3) (z) is decreasing on the interval (4, 4.1) is bounded by its value at the left-endpoint. Thus f (3) (z) = 3 8z 5/ /2 = Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

15 Point estimation (Continued) To bound the error we need to first bound f (3) (z) for 4 < z < 4.1. But f (3) (z) = 3 8z 5/2 4 < z < 4.1 Since f (3) (z) is decreasing on the interval (4, 4.1) is bounded by its value at the left-endpoint. Thus f (3) (z) = 3 8z 5/ /2 = Finally, the error in the approximation is 4.1 T 2 (4.1) (3/256).1 3 < ! Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

17 Point estimation Here is an alternative method to estimate 4.1 using the binomial theorem. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

18 Point estimation Here is an alternative method to estimate 4.1 using the binomial theorem. Observe that ( ) 1/2 ( ) 1/2 4 + x = (x/4) = 2 (x/2) n = n n=0 n=0 2 4 n ( 1/2 n ) x n. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

19 Point estimation Here is an alternative method to estimate 4.1 using the binomial theorem. Observe that ( ) 1/2 ( ) 1/2 4 + x = (x/4) = 2 (x/2) n = n n=0 n=0 2 4 n ( 1/2 n ) x n. Thus 4.1 = n=0 2 4 n ( 1/2 n ) (.1) n Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

20 Point estimation Here is an alternative method to estimate 4.1 using the binomial theorem. Observe that ( ) 1/2 ( ) 1/2 4 + x = (x/4) = 2 (x/2) n = n Thus 4.1 = n=0 n=0 2 4 n ( 1/2 n ) (.1) n n=0 2 4 n ( 1/2 n ) x n. After the first two terms, the series strictly alternates; thus, if we sum the first three terms, we can use the absolute value of the fourth term to bound error. This is shown on the next slide.

24 Point estimation The sum of the first three terms of this series gives , which is identical to before. The error is not exceeding ( 2 1/ ) (.1) n = (.1) This method is faster, but it is not as robust; we will not always have an alternating series.

25 Estimation on an interval Remark Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

26 Estimation on an interval Remark Often it is not enough to approximate a function f by a Taylor polynomial at a single point. In certain applications we need to approximate f by a Taylor polynomial across an interval. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

27 Estimation on an interval Remark Often it is not enough to approximate a function f by a Taylor polynomial at a single point. In certain applications we need to approximate f by a Taylor polynomial across an interval. The corresponding estimate of the error in the approximation must hold throughout the interval. In other words we must bound f (x) T N (x) simultaneously for all x in an interval. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

28 Estimation on an interval Remark Often it is not enough to approximate a function f by a Taylor polynomial at a single point. In certain applications we need to approximate f by a Taylor polynomial across an interval. The corresponding estimate of the error in the approximation must hold throughout the interval. In other words we must bound f (x) T N (x) simultaneously for all x in an interval. The problem Approximate the function f (x) by the Taylor polynomial T N (x) centered at a. How accurate is this approximation when x I, where I is an interval containing a? Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

29 Estimation on an interval The method Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

30 Estimation on an interval The method For each x I, there exists a number z between a and x such that f (x) T N (x) = R N (x) = f (N+1) (z) (N + 1)! x a N+1. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

31 Estimation on an interval The method For each x I, there exists a number z between a and x such that f (x) T N (x) = R N (x) = f (N+1) (z) (N + 1)! x a N+1. We can bound the error by obtaining two bounds: (1) Find the largest possible value of f (N+1) (z) where z is allowed to range over the entire interval I ; (2) Find the largest possible value of x a where x is allowed to range over the entire interval I. Let us call the first bound M (for maximum ) and the second bound ρ (for radius ). Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

32 Estimation on an interval The method For each x I, there exists a number z between a and x such that f (x) T N (x) = R N (x) = f (N+1) (z) (N + 1)! x a N+1. We can bound the error by obtaining two bounds: (1) Find the largest possible value of f (N+1) (z) where z is allowed to range over the entire interval I ; (2) Find the largest possible value of x a where x is allowed to range over the entire interval I. Let us call the first bound M (for maximum ) and the second bound ρ (for radius ). Then f (x) T N (x) M (N + 1)! ρn+1 for all x I.

33 Estimation on an interval Problem Approximate f (x) = sin(x) by a Taylor polynomial of order 6 centered at a = 0. Estimate the error in this approximation when x [.5,.5]. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

34 Estimation on an interval Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

35 Estimation on an interval We can easily show that T 6 (x) = x x 3 /6 + x 5 /120. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

36 Estimation on an interval We can easily show that T 6 (x) = x x 3 /6 + x 5 /120. Note that f (7) (x) = sin(x). Thus we should choose M to be the maximum value of sin(x) on [.5,.5]. We will settle for M = 1 (which is typical in working with sines and cosines). Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

37 Estimation on an interval We can easily show that T 6 (x) = x x 3 /6 + x 5 /120. Note that f (7) (x) = sin(x). Thus we should choose M to be the maximum value of sin(x) on [.5,.5]. We will settle for M = 1 (which is typical in working with sines and cosines). Next, the value of ρ is the maximum value of x a = x as x ranges over [.5,.5]. Clearly ρ =.5.

38 Estimation on an interval We can easily show that T 6 (x) = x x 3 /6 + x 5 /120. Note that f (7) (x) = sin(x). Thus we should choose M to be the maximum value of sin(x) on [.5,.5]. We will settle for M = 1 (which is typical in working with sines and cosines). Next, the value of ρ is the maximum value of x a = x as x ranges over [.5,.5]. Clearly ρ =.5. Thus we have for all x [.5,.5]. sin(x) T 6 (x) 1 7! (.5) Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

39 Estimation on an interval Problem Approximate f (x) = x by a Taylor polynomial of order 3 centered at a = 9. Estimate the error in this approximation when x [7.5, 9.5]. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

41 Estimation on an interval It can be shown that T 3 (x) = (x 9) 108 (x 9) (x 9)3. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

42 Estimation on an interval It can be shown that T 3 (x) = (x 9) 108 (x 9) (x 9)3. To find M, we maximize the absolute value of f (4) across the interval. But f (4) (x) = 15, for 7.5 x 9.5. Since this 16 x 7/2 function is decreasing across the interval, the maximum is achieved at the left endpoint, x = 7.5. Thus M = 15 16(7.5) 7/ Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

43 Estimation on an interval It can be shown that T 3 (x) = (x 9) 108 (x 9) (x 9)3. To find M, we maximize the absolute value of f (4) across the interval. But f (4) (x) = 15, for 7.5 x 9.5. Since this 16 x 7/2 function is decreasing across the interval, the maximum is achieved at the left endpoint, x = 7.5. Thus M = 15 16(7.5) 7/ To find ρ, we need to maximize x 9 on the interval [7.5, 9.5]; thus, ρ = 1.5. Mark Woodard (Furman U) 8.8 Applications of Taylor Polynomials Spring / 14

44 Estimation on an interval It can be shown that T 3 (x) = (x 9) 108 (x 9) (x 9)3. To find M, we maximize the absolute value of f (4) across the interval. But f (4) (x) = 15, for 7.5 x 9.5. Since this 16 x 7/2 function is decreasing across the interval, the maximum is achieved at the left endpoint, x = 7.5. Thus M = 15 16(7.5) 7/ To find ρ, we need to maximize x 9 on the interval [7.5, 9.5]; thus, ρ = 1.5. Thus f (x) T 3 (x) 1 4!
