    A Taylor polynomial is a polynomial, containing a finite number of terms. A Taylor series is a series, the summation of an infinite number of terms.

  2. 2.

    Theorem 9.10.1, entitled “Function and Taylor Series Equality”

  3. 3.

    All derivatives of ex are ex which evaluate to 1 at x=0.

    The Taylor series starts 1+x+12x2+13!x3+14!x4+;

    the Taylor series is n=0xnn!

  4. 4.

    All derivatives of sinx are either ±cosx or ±sinx, which evaluate to ±1 or 0 at x=0. The Taylor series starts 0+x+0x216x3+0x4+1120x5;

    the Taylor series is n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!

  5. 5.

    The nth derivative of 1/(1x) is f(n)(x)=(n)!/(1x)n+1, which evaluates to n! at x=0.

    The Taylor series starts 1+x+x2+x3+;

    the Taylor series is n=0xn

  6. 6.

    The derivative of tan1x is 1/(1+x2). Taking successive derivatives using the Quotient Rule, the derivatives of tan1x fall into two categories in terms of their evaluation at x=0.

    When n is even, f(n)(x)=(1)(n1)/2p(x)(1+x2)n, where p(x) is a polynomial such that p(0)=0. Hence f(n)(0)=0 when n is even.

    When n is odd, f(n)(x)=(1)(n1)/2p(x)(1+x2)n, where p(x) is a polynomial such that p(0)=(n1)!. Hence f(n)(0)=(1)(n1)/2(n1)! when n is odd. (The unusual power of (1) is such that every other odd term is negative.)

    The Taylor series starts x13x3+15x5+; by reindexing to only obtain odd powers of x, we get

    the Taylor series is n=0(1)nx2n+12n+1.

  7. 7.

    The Taylor series starts 0(xπ/2)+0x2+16(xπ/2)3+0x41120(xπ/2)5;

    f(n)(x)=(1)n+1n!(x+1)n+1; at x=1, f(n)(1)=(1)n+1n!2n+1

    The Taylor series starts 12+14(x1)18(x1)2+116(x1)3;

    the Taylor series is 12+n=1(1)n+1(x1)n2n+1.

  12. 12.

    The derivatives of sinx are ±cosx and ±sinx; at x=π/4, these derivatives evaluate to ±2/2.

    The Taylor series starts 22+22(xπ/4)22(xπ/4)2222(xπ/4)33!+22(xπ/4)44!+22(xπ/4)55!. Note how the signs are “++++.” We saw signs like these in Example 9.1.1; one way of producing such signs is to raise (1) to a special quadratic power. While many possibilities exist, one such quadratic is (n+3)(n+4)/2.

    Thus the Taylor series is n=0(1)(n+3)(n+4)222(xπ/4)nn!.

    Given a value x, the magnitude of the error term Rn(x) is bounded by

    |Rn(x)|max|f(n+1)(z)|(n+1)!|x(n+1)|,

    where z is between 0 and x.

    If x>0, then z<x and f(n+1)(z)=ez<ex. If x<0, then x<z<0 and f(n+1)(z)=ez<1. So given a fixed x value, let M=max{ex,1}; f(n)(z)<M. This allows us to state

    |Rn(x)|M(n+1)!|x(n+1)|.

    For any x, limnM(n+1)!|x(n+1)|=0. Thus by the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that limnRn(x)=0 for all x, and hence

    ex=n=0xnn!for all x.
  14. 14.

    The following argument is essentially the same as that given for f(x)=cosx in Example 9.10.3.

    Given a value x, the magnitude of the error term Rn(x) is bounded by

    |Rn(x)|max|f(n+1)(z)|(n+1)!|x(n+1)|.

    Since all derivatives of sinx are ±cosx or ±sinx, whose magnitudes are bounded by 1, we can state

    |Rn(x)|1(n+1)!|x(n+1)|.

    For any x, limnxn+1(n+1)!=0. Thus by the Squeeze Theorem, we conclude that limnRn(x)=0 for all x, and hence

    sinx=n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!for all x.
  15. 15.

    Given a value x, the magnitude of the error term Rn(x) is bounded by

    |Rn(x)|max|f(n+1)(z)|(n+1)!|x(n+1)|,

    where z is between 0 and x. Since |f(n+1)(z)|=n!(z+1)n+1,

    |Rn(x)|1n+1(|x|minz+1)n+1.

    If 0<x<1, then 0<z<x and f(n+1)(z)=n!(z+1)n+1<n!. Thus

    |Rn(x)|n!(n+1)!|x(n+1)|=xn+1n+1.

    For a fixed x<1,

    limnxn+1n+1=0.
  16. 16.

    Given a value x, the magnitude of the error term Rn(x) is bounded by

    |Rn(x)|max|f(n+1)(z)|(n+1)!|x(n+1)|,

    where z is between 0 and x.

    Note that |f(n+1)(x)|=(n+1)!(1x)n+2.

    If 1<x<0, then x<z<0 and f(n+1)(z)=(n+1)!(1z)n+2<(n+1)!. Thus

    |Rn(x)|(n+1)!(n+1)!|xn+1|=|xn+1|.

    For a fixed x,

    limn|xn+1|=0 as |x|<1.
  17. 17.

    Given cosx=n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!,

    cos(x)=n=0(1)n(x)2n(2n)!=n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!=cosx, as all powers in the series are even.

  18. 18.

    Given sinx=n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!,

    sin(x)=n=0(1)n(x)2n+1(2n+1)!=n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!=sinx, as all powers in the series are odd.

  19. 19.

    Given sinx=n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!,

    ddx(sinx)=ddx(n=0(1)nx2n+1(2n+1)!)=n=0(1)n(2n+1)x2n(2n+1)!=n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!=cosx. (The summation still starts at n=0 as there was no constant term in the expansion of sinx).

  20. 20.

    Given cosx=n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!,

    ddx(cosx)=ddx(n=0(1)nx2n(2n)!)=n=1(1)n(2n)x2n1(2n)!=n=1(1)nx2n1(2n1)!. We can re-index this summation to start at n=0 by replacing n with n+1 in the summation:

    n=1(1)nx2n1(2n1)!=n=0(1)n+1x2n+1(2n+1)!.

    Note that this series has the opposite sign of the Taylor series for sinx; thus ddx(cosx)=sinx.
