Maclaurin Series Flashcards
Derive the binomial expansion formula using maclaurin, include validity
Find the maclaurin series for e^x
Why can’t we find the maclaurin series of log(x)?
Coz we can’t evaluate log (0) as it is undefined so we evaluate log (x+1)
Notation
What is the difference between maclaurin expansion and a maclaurin series ?
A maclaurin expansion for a function involves a finite number of terms and is an approximation to the function.
A maclaurin series is the sum of an infinite number of terms
For maclaurin series do you work in radians or degrees or both?
Radians because it is built from differentiating
Can you get the macularin series for cos(x) by differentiating the expansion for sin(x)?
