All the tools & learning materials you need for study success - in one app.
Get started for freeUse Maclaurin series to evaluate each of the following. Although you could do them by computer, you can probably do them in your head faster than you can type them into the computer. So use these to practice quick and skillful use of basic series to make simple calculations.
.
Use power series to evaluate the function at the given point. Compare with computer results, using the computer to find the series, and also to do the problem without series. Resolve any disagreement in results (see Example 1). at .
(a) Using computer or tables (or see Chapter Section ),verify that,and also verify that the error in approximating the sum of the series by the first five terms is approximately .
(b) By computer or tables verify that
the sum of the first five terms is
(c) Prove theorem . Hint: The error is .
Use the fact that the absolute value of a sum is less than or equal to the sum of the absolute values. Then use the fact that to replace all by , and write the appropriate inequality. Sum the geometric series to get the result.
Use power series to evaluate the function at the given point. Compare with computer results, using the computer to find the series, and also to do the problem without series. Resolve any disagreement in results (see Example 1)..
