Calculus II (MAT 146)Dr. Day Wednesday December 4, 2013 • Transforming Series into Functions: Using Derivatives and Integrals • Taylor Series and Maclaurin Series • Assignments and Announcements MAT 146
Geometric Power Series • If we let cn = 1 for all n, we get a familiar series: • This geometric series has common ratio x and we know the series converges for |x| < 1. • We also know the sum of this series: MAT 146
Geometric Power Series MAT 146
Geometric Power Series MAT 146
Beyond Geometric Series Connections:Taylor Series How can we describe the cnso a power series can represent OTHER functions? ANY functions? Now we go way back to the ideas that motivated this chapter’s investigations and connections: Polynomial Approximators! MAT 146
Taylor Series Demo #1 Taylor Series Demo #2 Taylor Series Demo #3 Taylor Series Demo #4 MAT 146
Taylor Series Look at characteristics of the function in question and connect those to the cn. Example: f(x) = ex, centered around x = 0. MAT 146
Taylor Series Example: f(x) = ex, centered around x = 0. And…how far from x = 0 can we stray and still find this re-expression useful? MAT 146
General Form: Coefficients cn MAT 146
Examples: Determining the cn f(x) = cos(x), centered around x = 0. MAT 146
Examples: Determining the cn f(x) = sin(x), centered around x = 0. MAT 146
Examples: Determining the cn f(x) = ln(1-x), centered around x = 0. MAT 146
