  • Commonly Used Taylor Series

    series when is valid/true

    11 x = 1 + x + x

    2 + x3 + x4 + . . .note this is the geometric series.

    just think of x as r

    =n=0

    xn x (1, 1)

    ex = 1 + x +x2

    2!+

    x3

    3!+

    x4

    4!+ . . .

    so:e = 1 + 1 + 12! +

    13! +

    14! + . . .

    e(17x) =

    n=0(17x)n

    n! =n=0

    17nxn

    n!

    =n=0

    xn

    n!x R

    cosx = 1 x2

    2!+

    x4

    4! x

    6

    6!+

    x8

    8! . . .

    note y = cosx is an even function(i.e., cos(x) = +cos(x)) and thetaylor seris of y = cosx has only

    even powers.

    =n=0

    (1)n x2n

    (2n)!x R

    sinx = x x3

    3!+

    x5

    5! x

    7

    7!+

    x9

    9! . . .

    note y = sinx is an odd function(i.e., sin(x) = sin(x)) and thetaylor seris of y = sinx has only

    odd powers.

    =n=1

    (1)(n1) x2n1

    (2n 1)!or=

    n=0

    (1)n x2n+1

    (2n + 1)!x R

    ln (1 + x) = x x2

    2+

    x3

    3 x

    4

    4+

    x5

    5 . . . question: is y = ln(1 + x) even,

    odd, or neither?

    =n=1

    (1)(n1) xn

    n

    or=n=1

    (1)n+1xn

    nx (1, 1]

    tan1 x = x x3

    3+

    x5

    5 x

    7+

    x9

    9 . . . question: is y = arctan(x) even,

    odd, or neither?

    =n=1

    (1)(n1) x2n1

    2n 1or=

    n=0

    (1)n x2n+1

    2n + 1x [1, 1]
