Question

Need help using a taylor series and while loop in MatLab

Answer 1

I need to use a while loop to make sure an approximation of a^x is accurate up to six decimal places. I do not know howto check for accuracy, and orginially did this using a for loop at an arbitrary value. Here is the problem: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5n-r165dW8FT2pwcUU4YmlTMTQ/edit?usp=sharing

Answer 2

Here is my code so far:

function result = lastName5(x,a)

result = 1;
for k = 1:1:5
result = (((x * log(a))^k) / factorial(k))+ r;
end
end
