Question

Taylor Polynomials?? if they give you an x, but dont give you an a..is it assumed to be a 0?

Answer 1

if a=0,then theyr called maclauren's....generally u cannot take a=0.

Answer 2

Find the Taylor Polynomials of 3rd order generated by f(x) = cos(x) at x= pi/4..so wat do we plug in for a?

Answer 3

a=pi/4 !!!

Answer 4

oo because in another problem, he said A = something...this time he said X, so i wasnt sure..

Answer 5

see i guess,ur confused with the x=pi/4.
they've asked u to find taylor POLYNOMIAl and so the result will be a polynomial in x.
so x=pi/4 doesn't mean here u'll be substituting that value for x. if u do u won't get a polynomial,rather a single value. get it ?

Answer 6

makes alot of sense... thanks a ton!
