The first few terms of Taylor's series of

e+e(π-1)+e2(π-1)2+e6(π-1)3+e24(π-1)4+e120(π-1)5..

Step by step solution

01

Taylor series and the given function.

Function is exanda=1

The Taylor series of f(x)about is expressed as follows:

role="math" localid="1664257910058" f(x)=f(a)+f'(a)1!(x-a)+f''(a)2!(x-a)2+f'''(a)3!(x-a)3+..

02

Calculation by the Taylor series.

Differentiate the function;

ex=e+e1!(π-1)+e2!(π-1)2+e3!(π-1)3+e4!(π-1)4+e5!(π-1)5.ex=e+e(π-1)+e2(π-1)2+e6(π-1)3+e24(π-1)4+e120(π-1)5.

Substitute 1 for xas follows:

f'(x)=dexdxf'(x)=exf'(1)=e1f'(1)=e

Differentiate the function ex two times and substitute 1 forx as follows:

f''(x)=d2exdx2\hfillf''(x)=exf''(1)=e1f''(1)=e

Similarly, all the values of derivatives of the function exat 1 are.

Substitute all the values of derivatives and 1 for xin Taylor’s equation as follows:

ex=e+e1!(π-1)+e2!(π-1)2+e3!(π-1)3+e4!(π-1)4+e5!(π-1)5.\hfillex=e+e(π-1)+e2(π-1)2+e6(π-1)3+e24(π-1)4+e120(π-1)5.\hfill

Thus, the first few terms of the Taylor series of exata=1are:

e+e(π-1)+e2(π-1)2+e6(π-1)3+e24(π-1)4+e120(π-1)5..
