The Mystery of Real Taylor Series: The Motion Picture Part I Maple Lab Rachel Hall, Saint Joseph's University rhall@sju.edu www.sju.edu/~rhall Our main characters are a function f(x) and a value a. f := x -> 1/(3-2*x); a := 0;

In Calculus II you (should have) learned that IF f has a Taylor series expansion about x = a, then the series is given by 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 , where 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 . Let's see what the first ten terms of the series in question look like, keeping in mind that we don't know yet whether the series actually converges to f(x). taylor(f(x), x=a, 10); You may see a term like 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 at the end of the sum. This indicates that the rest of the terms start with a tenth-power term (the O stands for ``order''). To graph the function, we'll get rid of the O term: convert(%,polynom); Maple can also approximate the coefficients in decimal form: evalf(%,3); Keep in mind that Maple automatically multiplies out the factorials. What do you think the radius of convergence of this series is? (You may not be able to answer this question yet....)

Let's find and graph the first N partial sums of this series, which are functions called Taylor polynomials, for x between a-d and a+d. Choose values for N and d.

If you're not sure what R is, try several values for d. N := 20; d := 3; In order to make a nice graph, we'll need to set reasonable limits on the LUklbXJvd0c2Iy9JK21vZHVsZW5hbWVHNiJJLFR5cGVzZXR0aW5nR0koX3N5c2xpYkdGJzYjLUkjbWlHRiQ2JVEieUYnLyUnaXRhbGljR1EldHJ1ZUYnLyUsbWF0aHZhcmlhbnRHUSdpdGFsaWNGJw==-axis.
