Chapter 8: Q 18. (page 704)

Maclaurin and Taylor series: Find the indicated Maclaurin or Taylor series for the given function about the indicated point, and find the radius of convergence for the series. $e^{x}, x_{0} = 1$

Short Answer

Expert verified

$e + e (x - 1) + \frac{e}{2!} (x - 1)^{2} + \frac{e}{3!} (x - 1)^{3} + \frac{e}{4!} (x - 1)^{4} + 鈥�$ or $P_{n} (x) = {鈭�}_{k = 0}^{鈭�} \frac{e}{k!} (x - 1)^{k}$

Step by step solution

Given information

$e^{x}, x_{0} = 1$

Concept

The formula used: $P_{n} (x) = {鈭�}_{k = 0}^{鈭�} \frac{f^{k} (x_{0})}{k!} {(x - x_{0})}^{n}$

Calculation

Consider the function $f (x) = e^{x}$

Since for any function $f$ with a derivative of order $n$ the Taylor series at $x = 1$ is given by

P_{n} (x) = f (1) + f^{'} (1) (x - 1) + \frac{f^{''} (1)}{2!} (x - 1)^{2} + \frac{f^{''} (1)}{3!} (x - 1)^{3} + \frac{f^{'''} (1)}{4!} (x - 1)^{4} + 鈥�

Therefore, first, find the value of the function along with $f^{'} (x), f^{''} (x), f^{''} (x)$ and $f^{''''} (x)$ at $x = 1$

Also, the general of the Taylor series of the function $f$ is

P_{n} (x) = {鈭�}_{k = 0}^{鈭�} \frac{f^{k} (x_{0})}{k!} {(x - x_{0})}^{n}

Calculation

So, let's start by constructing the Taylor series table for the function $f (x) = e^{x}$ at $x = 1$

As result, For the function, the Taylor series $f (x) = e^{x}$ $x = 1$ is

$e + e (x - 1) + \frac{e}{2!} (x - 1)^{2} + \frac{e}{3!} (x - 1)^{3} + \frac{e}{4!} (x - 1)^{4} + 鈥�$

We can also write it as

$P_{n} (x) = {鈭�}_{k = 0}^{鈭�} \frac{e}{k!} (x - 1)^{k}$
