1 Taylor and Maclaurin Series MATH 211, Calculus II J. Robert Buchanan Department of Mathematics Spring 2018

2 Background We have seen that some power series converge. When they do, we can think of them as functions, say f (x). The derivatives and antiderivatives of f (x) are power series too. Suppose we start with a function, f (x). Is there a power series representation for f (x)? Which functions have power series representations? How do we find the power series representation?

3 Differentiating a Power Series f (x) = a k (x c) k = a 0 + a 1 (x c) + f (c) = a 0 f (x) = k a k (x c) k 1 = a 1 + 2a 2 (x c) + k=1 f (c) = a 1 f (x) = k(k 1)a k (x c) k 2 = 2a 2 + 6a 3 (x c) + k=2 f (c) = 2a 2.

4 Differentiating a Power Series f (x) = a k (x c) k = a 0 + a 1 (x c) + f (c) = a 0 f (x) = k a k (x c) k 1 = a 1 + 2a 2 (x c) + k=1 f (c) = a 1 f (x) = k(k 1)a k (x c) k 2 = 2a 2 + 6a 3 (x c) + k=2 f (c) = 2a 2. Observation: in general f (k) (c) = a k a k = f (k) (c).

5 Summary If a k (x c) k converges with radius of convergence r > 0 to a function f (x), then f (x) = a k (x c) k = f (k) (c) (x c) k.

6 Big Question Question: suppose f (x) is infinitely differentiable, i.e., f (k) (x) exists for all k = 1, 2,..., then does f (k) (c) (x c) k converge? is its radius of convergence positive? does it converge to f (x)?

If the answers are all yes, we say Taylor series expansion of f (x) about x = c. f (k) (c) (x c) k is the

9 Examples (1 of 3) Verify that e x. x k is the Taylor series expansion about c = 0 of Let f (x) = e x, then f (k) (x) = e x for all k = 0, 1,.... If c = 0 then f (k) (c) = e c = e 0 = 1 for all k = 0, 1,.... Consequently f (k) (c) = 1 for all k = 0, 1,.... According to the Ratio Test, the power series f (k) (c) x k = x k converges absolutely for < x <, therefore e x = x k for all x.

21 Taylor s Theorem Theorem (Taylor s Theorem) Suppose that f has n + 1 derivatives on the interval (c r, c + r) for some r > 0. Then for x (c r, c + r), f (x) P n (x) and the error in using P n (x) to approximate f (x) is R n (x) = f (x) P n (x) = f (n+1) (z) (x c)n+1 (n + 1)! for some z between x and c.

22 Taylor s Theorem Theorem (Taylor s Theorem) Suppose that f has n + 1 derivatives on the interval (c r, c + r) for some r > 0. Then for x (c r, c + r), f (x) P n (x) and the error in using P n (x) to approximate f (x) is R n (x) = f (x) P n (x) = f (n+1) (z) (x c)n+1 (n + 1)! for some z between x and c. Remarks: R n (x) is called the nth Taylor remainder. f (x) = P n (x) + R n (x).

23 Proof (1 of 4) (x t)n+1 n Define g(t) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 Verify that g(x) = 0 and that g(c) = 0. f (k) (t) (x t) k.

24 Proof (1 of 4) (x t)n+1 n Define g(t) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 Verify that g(x) = 0 and that g(c) = 0. f (k) (t) (x t) k. (x x)n+1 n g(x) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 (0) n+1 = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 f (0) (x) 0! = f (x) f (x) = 0 f (k) (x) (x x) k n k=1 f (k) (x) (0) k

25 Proof (1 of 4) (x t)n+1 n Define g(t) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 Verify that g(x) = 0 and that g(c) = 0. f (k) (t) (x t) k. (x x)n+1 n g(x) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 (0) n+1 = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 f (0) (x) 0! = f (x) f (x) = 0 (x c)n+1 n g(c) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 = f (x) R n (x) P n (x) = 0 f (k) (x) (x x) k n k=1 f (k) (c) (x c) k f (k) (x) (0) k

26 Proof (2 of 4) Since g(x) = 0 = g(c), g(t) is continuous on the closed interval from x to c, and g(t) is differentiable on the open interval from x to c, then by Rolle s Theorem there is a number z between x and c for which g (z) = 0. Differentiate g(t) with respect to t and set the derivative equal to zero.

27 Proof (3 of 4) (x t)n+1 n g(t) = f (x) R n (x) (x c) n+1 g ( 1)(n + 1)(x t)n (t) = R n (x) (x c) n+1 n f (k+1) (t) (x t) k (x t)n = (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 n f (k+1) (t) (x t) k + (x t)n = (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 n f (k+1) (t) f (k) (t) (x t) k n ( 1)k f (k) (t) (x t) k 1 k=1 n k=1 n 1 (x t) k + f (k) (t) (x t)k 1 (k 1)! f (k+1) (t) (x t) k

28 Proof (4 of 4) g (x t)n (t) = (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 n f (k+1) (t) n 1 (x t) k + f (k+1) (t) (x t) k g (x t)n (t) = (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 f (n+1) (t) (x t) n n! For some z between x and c, g (z) = 0, so (x z)n (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 f (n+1) (z) (x z) n = 0 n! 1 (n + 1)R n (x) (x c) n+1 = f (n+1) (z) n! R n (x) = f (n+1) (z) (n + 1)! (x c)n+1.

29 Big Answer Using Taylor s Theorem we can now answer the big questions posed at the beginning of this discussion.

30 Big Answer Using Taylor s Theorem we can now answer the big questions posed at the beginning of this discussion. Theorem If f (x) has derivatives of all orders in the interval (c r, c + r) for some r > 0 and if lim R n(x) = 0 for all x (c r, c + r), n then the Taylor series for f expanded about x = c converges to f (x), i.e., f (k) (c) f (x) = (x c) k.

31 Taylor s Inequality Theorem (Taylor s Inequality) If f (n+1) (x) M for x c r, then the remainder R n (x) of the Taylor series satisfies the inequality R n (x) M (n + 1)! x c n+1 for x c r.

32 Useful Result The following theorem will frequently be of use when trying to prove that lim n R n(x) = 0 for a potential Taylor series. Theorem If x is a real number then lim n x n n! = 0.

33 Verifying e x = x k We have seen that if f (x) = e x then a k = f (k) (0) = 1 and x k the power series converges (by the Ratio Test) for all x. An important detail is to show that it converges to e x. Let R n = f (n+1) (z) (n + 1)! x n+1 = between 0 and x. If x d then R n (x) = e z (n + 1)! x n+1 where z is e z (n + 1)! x n+1 lim R n(x) e d x n+1 lim n n (n + 1)! = 0. e d (n + 1)! x n+1

34 Example Find the Maclaurin series expansion for cos x.

35 Solution (1 of 2) Let f (x) = cos x, then f (0) = cos 0 = 1 f (0) = sin 0 = 0 f (0) = cos 0 = 1 f (0) = sin 0 = 0 f (4) (0) = cos 0 = 1 f (5) (0) = sin 0 = 0. f (n) (0) = 0 if n is odd, 1 if n/2 is even, 1 if n/2 is odd.

36 Solution (2 of 2) cos x = P n (x) + R n (x) = n ( 1) n (2n)! x 2n + = n d 2n+1 dx 2n+1 [cos x] x=z (2n + 1)! ( 1) n (2n)! x 2n + ± sin z (2n + 1)! x 2n+1 x 2n+1

37 Solution (2 of 2) Note that cos x = P n (x) + R n (x) = n ( 1) n (2n)! x 2n + = n d 2n+1 dx 2n+1 [cos x] x=z (2n + 1)! ( 1) n (2n)! x 2n + ± sin z (2n + 1)! x 2n+1 R n (x) = ± sin z (2n + 1)! x 2n+1 x 2n+1 (2n + 1)! lim R n(x) lim x 2n+1 n n (2n + 1)! = 0 x 2n+1
