Pag.252-pregunta 5
Expando cos (6 x) and compare this to T 6 ( x). The formula for the cosine of the sum
of two Will help you in this.

Pag.252-pregunta 8
For the Interval [0,1], superimpose graph for the economized polynomial of
degree-4 on the graph of the Maclaurin series of the same degree for f (x)=e x. Do it
again for those of degree-5.

Pag.252-pregunta 10
Make a table equivalent to Table 4.1 but for the function f (x)=e x cos ( x).

Pag.252-pregunta 12
The function arctan (x) can be represented by this power series:

x3 x5 x7 x9
arctan (x)=x− + − +
3 5 7 9
Economize this three to give a third-degree polynomial. Graph the errors, and
compare this graph to the errors of the ninth-degree expansion.

Pag.252-pregunta 13
Find the first few terms of the Chebyshev series for cos (x) by rewriting the
Maclaurin series in terms of the T ( x)' s and collecting terms. Convert this to a
power series in x. Compare the error of both the Chebyshev series and the power
series after truncating each to the fourth degree.

Pag.252-pregunta 14
A series expansion for (1+ x /5)1 /2 is

x x2 x3 x4 7 x5
1− + − + + −.. .
10 200 2000 16,000 800,000
Convert this to a Chebyshev series, including terms to T 2. What is the maximum
error of the truncated Chebyshev series? Compare this to the error of the power
series when it is truncated to second degree.
Pag.252-pregunta 15
Make a table similar to Table 4.2 but for f (x)=sin( x)/exp ( x). Also do a graph
similar to Figure 4.2.

Pag.253-pregunta 20
sin(nx) is orthogonal over [−π , π ] ¿]. Male a change of variable so that it is
orthogonal over [−1 ,1]. What value of n causes this new function to have exactly
five mínima/maxima on [−1 ,1].. Compare its graph to that of T 4 ( x ). Then do the
same for cos (x) .

Pag.253-pregunta 26
A Chebyshev series for cos ( πx/ 4) is

0.851632−0.146437T 2 +0.00192145 T 4 −9.965∗10−6 T 6 .

Use this series to develop a Padé-like rational function by the method of Section 4.2
where the function is R3,3.
