Taylors Series :

f '(a ) f "(a ) f ' ' '( a ) + (x a)2 + (x a)3 2! 3! 1!

f n (a ) + n!

f(x) = f (a) + (x a) + + (x a)n

1:

When a = 0, the Taylors series reduces to Maclaurins series f(x) = f (0) + x

f ' (0 ) f "(0) f "' (a) + x2 + x3 2! 1! 3!

2:

There are several forms of Taylors series used in different contexts . For example : (i) Replace a by a, f(x) = f(a)+(x+a)
f ' (a) f "(a) f ' ' ' (a) +(x+a)2 +(x+a)3 + 1! 2! 3! f ' (a) f ' ' (a) f ' ' ' (a) + h2 + h3 + 1! 2! 3! f ' (a) f ' ' (a) f ' ' ' (a) + h2 h3 + 1! 2! 3! f ' (a) f ' ' (a) f ' ' ' (a) + x2 + x3 + 1! 2! 3!

(ii) When x =a + h then, f (a + h) = f (a) + h

(iii) Replace h by h we get, f (a h) = f (a) h

(iv) Replace h by x we get, f (a +x) = f (a) + x
