[Taylor's formula]

1. Suppose that

Use the degree Taylor polynomial to approximate .

2. Suppose that

Use the degree Taylor polynomial to approximate .

3. Suppose that , and for ,

Write down the degree Taylor polynomial (with each of the coefficients simplified).

So

4. The degree term in the Taylor series for at is . Find .

By Taylor's formula, the degree term in the Taylor series for at is .

So

5. Find the degree Taylor polynomial for expanded at .

So

Therefore,

6. Find the degree Taylor polynomial for expanded at .

Then

Hence,

[Taylor series applications]
