f(z) = z^2 -1
f'(z) = 2z
f''(z) = 2
f'''(z) = 0
OpenStudy (amistre64):
is it to the (z-1)^n or (z+1)^n ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks. It is (z^2)-1 . as you did the function is not differentiable after f''' (z)
OpenStudy (amistre64):
it is ...but its pointless to add up alot of zeros ;)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Thanks . still think about it :)

0 2 2
--- + --- (x+1) + --- (x+1)^2 ...this it?
0! 1! 2!
OpenStudy (amistre64):
...(x-1)s right?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
2x -2 +x^2 -2x +1
x^2 -1...if im seeing it right lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Is it \[z^2-1?\]
OR
\[{(z^2)}^{-1}?\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
z ^2 −1

at z=1
OpenStudy (amistre64):
....i take it that formula subs z for x then lol
OpenStudy (amistre64):
so after we expand it; we apply z=1 and get 0 right?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
i just started readig taylors the other day :)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Yeah, I think what you did is right.

It just should be (x-1) rather than (x+1). Right?
OpenStudy (amistre64):
yes...(x-1) :) the general is (x-a) so i assumed a=1
OpenStudy (anonymous):
Exactly. It's z, not x anyways :)

Thanks guys :)
