1 Section 9.7 and 9.10: Taylor Polynomials and Approximations/Taylor and Maclaurin Series
2 Power Series for Functions We can create a Power Series (or polynomial series) that can approximate a function around a certain value of the function. In order to approximate the function, we force the series to match the function at its value through many derivatives. = Example: T 2 (x) = 1 + x + x2 approximates f x 2 x = 0 because f 0 = T 2 0 = 1 f 0 = T 2 (0) = 1 f 0 = T 2 (0) = 1 e x at
3 Taylor Series Generated by f at x=0 Also known as a Maclaurin Series generated by f. Let f be a function with derivatives of all orders throughout some open interval containing 0. Then the Taylor series generated by f at x = 0 is: f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x f n 0 f k (0) k=0 k! x k x n +
4 Verifying the Maclaurin Series Justify that the Taylor Series centered at x = 0 matches any function at its value through all of its derivatives at x = 0. f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x 2 + f 0 3! x f n 0 x n + If x = 0, does the series equal f(0)? f 0 + f f 0 = f 0 Yes! f 0 3! f n 0 0 n + If x = 0, does the derivative of the series equal f (0)? Derivative: 0 + f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x = 0: 0 + f 0 + f f 0 = f 0 Yes! x f n 0 (n 1)! xn f n 0 n 1! 0n 1 +
5 Verifying the Maclaurin Series Justify that the Taylor Series centered at x = 0 matches any function at its value through all of its derivatives at x = 0. f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x 2 + f 0 3! x f n 0 x n + If x = 0, does the second derivative of the series equal f (0)? 2 nd Deriv: f 0 + f 0 x + + f n 0 (n 2)! xn 2 + x = 0: f 0 + f f n 0 (n 2)! 0n 2 + = f 0 Yes! This pattern will continue. If x = 0, then the nth derivative of the series will equal f n 0. The Taylor Series meets the defined requirements.
6 Taylor Series v Taylor Polynomial Taylor Polynomial: Have a finite number of terms and are approximations of the function around a value of x. f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x f n 0 Taylor Series: Have a infinite number of terms and are equivalent to the function for values of x. f 0 + f 0 x + f 0 x f n 0 x n x n +

Starts at 0 because sin 0 = 0 cos x = 1 x2 + x4 4!

8 Example 1 Suppose g is a function with derivatives of all orders for real numbers. Assume g 0 = 4, g 0 = 2, g 0 = 6, and g 0 = 8. Write the second-degree the Taylor polynomial for g at x = 0, and use it to approximate g(0.5). Notice the degree required. Use the Formula for a second-degree polynomial: g 0 + g 0 x + g x + 6 x x + 3x 2 x 2 Substitute x = 0.5 into the polynomial to approximate the function g:
9 Notice: A Taylor series for a polynomial function IS the polynomial function in standard form. Example 2 Find the Taylor series for f x = (1 + x) 3 at x = 0. Find the function and derivatives of f(x): f x = (1 + x) 3 f x = 3(1 + x) 2 f x = 6(1 + x) 1 f x = 6 All future derivatives will be zero. Substitute into the formula: Find the value of the function and each derivative if x = 0: f 0 = 1 f 0 = 3 f 0 = 6 f 0 = 6 f (4) x = 0 f 0 = x + 6 x ! x3 = 1 + 3x + 3x 2 + x 3
10 Example 3 Find the Maclaurin series for f x = x 2 e x. Find the function and derivatives of f(x): f x = x 2 e x f (x) = x 2 e x + 2xe x f (x) = x 2 e x + 4xe x + 2e x f x = x 2 e x + 6xe x + 6e x f (4) (x) = x 2 e x + 8xe x + 12e x f (5) (x) = x 2 e x + 10xe x + 20e x f 6 (x) = x 2 e x + 12xe x + 30e x Substitute into the formula: x + 2 x ! x ! x ! x ! x5 + = Find the value of the function and each derivative if x = 0: Not enough terms to see a pattern. f 0 = 0 f 0 = 0 f 0 = 2 f 0 = 6 f (4) (0) = 12 f (5) (0) = 20 f 6 (0) = 30 x 2 + x 3 + x4 + x5 3! + + xn+2 +
11 There are several method for generating new Taylor Series from known ones: integrate term by term, differentiate term by term, using algebra, or using substitution.

We know the Maclaurin series for e x : 1 + x + x2 + x3 3! + + xn + = n=0 x n We know the Maclaurin series for x 2 : x 2 Multiply the Maclaurin series for e x by the Maclaurin series for x 2 : x 2 (1 + x + x2 + x3 3! + + xn + ) x 2 + x 3 + x4 + x5 3! + + xn+2 + = n=0 x n+2
13 Example 4 Find the Maclaurin series for f x = e x2.

15 Example 4: Method 2 Find the Maclaurin series for f x = e x2. We know the Maclaurin series for e x : 1 + x + x2 + x3 3! + + xn + = n=0 x n Substitute x 2 for x in the Maclaurin series for e x : 1 + ( x 2 ) + ( x2 ) 2 + ( x2 ) 3 3! + + ( x2 ) n + 1 x 2 + x4 x6 3! + + ( 1) n x 2n + = n=0 ( 1) n x 2n
16 Finding ANY Taylor Series It should be possible to approximate functions around values other than x = 0. How should we change the Maclaurin Series to make a Taylor Series centered at any x = a? Remember it must still match the function at its value through all of its derivatives at x = a. If x = a, does the series equal f(a)? f a + f a Change the 0 to an a: x + f a 0 + f a + f a a + + f a f a + f a (x a) + f a x a 2 + f n a f n a x n + Change the x to x a. n 1! an 1 + f a No After substituting a for x, we need these values to be 0 in order for the sum to equal f (a). (x a) f n a (x a) n +
