To hand in Thursday: 12.3.1. and 12.4.13. You are asked to explain which expressions are meaningless. Write this up as a clear, self-contained paragraph without stating the question separately. It's trying to help you sort through the notation. What quantities can be added? dotted? scalar multiplied? distributed? crossed? Why might an unthinking student get confused. What are the clues or guideposts to keep you on the right track?


Week 3

Suggested problems for Taylor Series. You are to hand in your solution to problem 10 on Thursday, April 17.

Solutions are now available.


Week 2

TN. Find the second Taylor polynomial T2(x) for the  functions f(x) based at b and use the Quadratic Approximation Error Bound to bound the error |f(x) T2(x)| on the interval I where

  1. f(x) = x^5 at b=2 on I=[1.9, 2.1]
  2. f(x)=e^{-x} at b=0 on I=[-.1, .1]
  3. f(x)=x^{2/3}at b=8 on I=[7.95, 8.05]
  4. f(x)=1/x at b=1000 on I=[995,1005]
  5. How did the error estimate change from the first time you considered these problems?

Find the nth Taylor polynomial Tn(x) for the functions f(x) based at b given below.

  1. sin(x) at b=0
  2. e^{-x} at b=0
  3. e^{3x} at b=0
  4. ln(x) at b=1

To hand-in on Thursday:

Find the 5th Taylor polynomial for f(x) = x^5-3x^4+5x^2+6x-2 based at b=1 two different ways.

  1. Use the formula for finding T5(x) discussed in the TN directly.
  2. Substitute x=u+1, multiply out the polynomial, collect together powers of u and substitute back u=x-1.

Which method do you prefer? Why is the nth Taylor polynomial equal to f whenever n is greater than or equal to 5? Can you make a similar state for any polynomial?


Week 1 Suggested Problems

11.1: 2*, 5, 6, and as many of 17-46 as you can stomach but at a minimum at least 19, 21, 27, 29, 45.

Please hand in 11.1.2 and 11.2.1 (you might even consider typing your response) by 4 pm, Thursday, April 3.

TN1. Find the first Taylor polynomial T1(x) for the  functions f(x) based at b and use the Tangent Line Error Bound to bound the error |f(x) T1(x)| on the interval I where

  1. f(x) = x^5 at b=2 on I=[1.9, 2.1]
  2. f(x)=e^{-x} at b=0 on I=[-.1, .1]
  3. f(x)=x^{2/3}at b=8 on I=[7.95, 8.05]
  4. f(x)=1/x at b=1000 on I=[995,1005]
