$\tan x, x_{0} = \frac{蟺}{3}$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The third-order Maclaurin series for the function $f (x) = \tan x$ is $P_{3} (x) = \sqrt{3} + (x - \frac{蟺}{3}) + \frac{1}{3} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{3}$

Step by step solution

Given information

The function is $f (x) = \tan x$

The third Maclaurin polynomial is given for any function f with a derivative of order 3 at x=0

The third-order Taylor polynomial at $x_{0} = \frac{蟺}{3}$ is

$P_{3} (x) = f (\frac{蟺}{3}) + f^{'} (\frac{蟺}{3}) (x - \frac{蟺}{3}) + \frac{f^{''} (\frac{蟺}{3})}{2!} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{2} + \frac{f^{''} (\frac{蟺}{3})}{3!} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{3}$

First, determine the function's value as well as $f^{'} (x), f^{''} (x) a n d f^{'''} (x) a t x_{0} = \frac{蟺}{3}$

Find the derivatives of the function

The value of the function $x = \frac{蟺}{3}$ is

$f (\frac{蟺}{3}) = \tan (\frac{蟺}{3}) = \sqrt{3}$

The derivatives of the function $f (x) = \tan x$ are

$f^{'} (x) = \frac{d}{d x} [\tan x] = s e c^{2} x$

At $x = 0$

$f^{'} (0) = s e c^{2} 0 = 1$

Again

$f^{''} (x) = \frac{d}{d x} (s e c^{2} x) = 2 s e c x 路 s e c x \tan x = 2 s e c^{2} x \tan x$

At $x = 0$

$f^{''} (0) = 2 s e c^{2} 0 \tan 0 = 2 路 1 路 0 = 0$

Again

$f^{''} (x) = 2 \frac{d}{d x} [\sec^{2} x \tan x] = 2 [\sec^{2} x \frac{d}{d x} (\tan x) + \tan x \frac{d}{d x} (\sec^{2} x)] = 2 [\sec^{2} x 路 \sec^{2} x + \tan x 路 2 \sec x 路 \sec x \tan x] = 2 [\sec^{4} x + 2 \sec^{2} x \tan^{2} x]$

At $x = 0$

$f^{'''} (0) = 2 (\sec^{4} 0 + 2 \sec^{2} 0 \tan^{2} 0) = 2 (1 + 2 路 1 路 0) = 2$

Find the third-order Maclaurin series for the function.

The third-order Maclaurin series for the function $f (x) = \tan x$ at $x = \frac{蟺}{3}$ is

$P_{3} (x) = \sqrt{3} + 1 路 (x - \frac{蟺}{3}) + \frac{0}{2!} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{2} + \frac{2}{3!} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{3} P_{3} (x) = \sqrt{3} + (x - \frac{蟺}{3}) + \frac{1}{3} {(x - \frac{蟺}{3})}^{3}$
