AYLOR
worked to approximate complicated functions
with simple polynomials.
Suppose it is indeed possible to approximate a
complicated function f(x) as a polynomial:
f(x) a0+ a1x+ a2x2+…+ anxn
One analyzes the situation by first noting that placing
x= 0 into this formula yields:
f(0) = a0+ 0 + 0 + … + 0
This shows that the approximation can be made exact,
at least at x= 0, by setting a0= f(0). To determine the
coefficient a1, differentiate once and then set x= 0:
f(x) = 0 + a1+ 2a2x+ 3a3x2+ … + nanxn–1
f(0) = a1
This shows that a1= f(0) is a good choice. That is, by
setting a1to be this value, not only do the values of the
function and polynomial match at x= 0, but the slopes
of the two graphs also match at x= 0.
Differentiating another time and setting x= 0 (that
is, matching second derivatives) yields:
f′′(x) = 2a2+ 2 · 3a3x+ … + n(n– 1)anxn–2
f′′(0) = 2a2
and so . Continuing this way we obtain:
.
Thus a good approximation to the function f(x),at
least around the value x= 0, would be the polynomial:
The higher the degree the polynomial one uses, the bet-
ter the approximation would be. Thus the best polyno-
mial of all would be a polynomial of infinite degree,
that is, a
POWER SERIES
:
Mathematicians have proved that if fcan indeed be
differentiated infinitely many times, then this “approxi-
mation” is exact for the range of values the series con-
verges (called its
RADIUS OF CONVERGENCE
), that is, the
function really does equal the infinite sum expressed on
the right-hand side of the formula. This formula is
called a Taylor series.
As an example, consider the function f(x) = ex.
Differentiating and substituting in x= 0 yields:
f(x) = exf(0) = 1
f(x) = exf(0) = 1
f′′(x) = exf′′(0) = 1
and so . A study of power series
shows that this series has infinite radius of convergence,
and so this equation is valid for all values of x.
The Taylor series of f(x) = sin xis given by:
Similarly,

Since handheld calculators are programmed only to
add, subtract, multiply, and divide, Taylor series make
it possible to compute values of complicated functions.
