Title: Further Engineering Mathematics
Post by: kennyboii on Dec 10, 2020
1.   Use the Taylor series centred around a=0 to write the first four terms of the expansion of f(x) = 1/(1+x) and hence write its general formula.

2.   A. Write down the first four terms of the Maclaurin expansion for f(x)=ex.
B. Calculate the sum of the first four terms of the expansion of f(x) = ex, for x = 1.
C. Compare your result with the value for e1 obtained from your calculator.

Hi kennyboii (https://biology-forums.com/index.php?action=profile;u=966035),

Here's the answer for question #1

Let me know what you think before I start #2

What do you think of my solution? Does it make sense?

I guess it does but i don’t understand why”(x-a)^4” in 6/3!(1+x)^4 (x-a)^4  is to the power of 4 and not 3
