Many functions can be represented as the sum of different terms, I don't really know how to explain it because I'm not too familiar with the subject. For example:

$$\sin(x) = x-\frac{x^3}{6}+\frac{x^5}{120}-\frac{x^7}{5040}$$

Do you get the picture?

anonymous · Answer

so eg sinx we can represent in another form, that is the one u wrote above?

if youve ever taken a metal rod and bent it around a pipe to curve it, then youve mechanically done these series

amistre64 · Answer

when you learn what a derivative is (pretty much looking closer and closer at one point to see how it bends) you can fit a polynomial to some pretty nasty functions and work on the poly since its easier
