Find T4(x), the Taylor polynomial of degree 4 of the function f(x)=arctan(11x) about x=0.

OpenStudy (perl):

how far did you get

OpenStudy (perl):

we need f ' (x), f ' ' (x) , f ' ' ' (x)

OpenStudy (perl):

the derivative of arctan x is 1/ (x^2+1)

OpenStudy (perl):

one sec

OpenStudy (perl):

11 x-(1331 x^3)/3+(161051 x^5)/5-(19487171 x^7)/7+(2357947691 x^9)/9

OpenStudy (perl):

I think then T4(x) = 11 x- (1331 x^3)/3

OpenStudy (perl):

Taylor series for arctan(u) is u-u^3/3+u^5/5-u^7/7+u^9/9-u^11/11+... (Taylor series) Then plug in u = 11x
