Consider the following common approximations when \(x\) is near zero. a. Estimate \(f(0.1)\) and give the maximum error in the approximation. b. Estimate \(f(0.2)\) and give the maximum error in the approximation. $$f(x)=\tan ^{-1} x \approx x$$
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. The function \(f(x)=\sqrt{x}\) has a Taylor series centered at 0 . b. The function \(f(x)=\csc x\) has a Taylor series centered at \(\pi / 2\) c. If \(f\) has a Taylor series that converges only on \((-2,2),\) then \(f\left(x^{2}\right)\) has a Taylor series that also converges only on (-2,2) d. If \(p(x)\) is the Taylor series for \(f\) centered at \(0,\) then \(p(x-1)\) is the Taylor series for \(f\) centered at 1 e. The Taylor series for an even function about 0 has only even powers of \(x\)
Use a Taylor series to approximate the following definite integrals. Retain as many terms as needed to ensure the error is less than \(10^{-4}\). $$\int_{0}^{0.2} \frac{\ln (1+t)}{t} d t$$
a. Use any analytical method to find the first four nonzero terms of the Taylor series centered at 0 for the following functions. In most cases you do not need to use the definition of the Taylor series coefficients. b. If possible, determine the radius of convergence of the series. $$f(x)=\frac{e^{x}+e^{-x}}{2}$$
The inverse hyperbolic sine is defined in several ways; among them are $$\sinh ^{-1} x=\ln (x+\sqrt{x^{2}+1})=\int_{0}^{x} \frac{d t}{\sqrt{1+t^{2}}}$$ Find the first four terms of the Taylor series for \(\sinh ^{-1} x\) using these two definitions (and be sure they agree).
