variables

We know that the Taylor’s series expansion of a single variable function f(x) in a
neighbourhood of a point a is given by

Which is an infinite power series in h.

Maclaurin’s series is
Taylor’s theorem:
Let f(x,y) be a function of two independent variables x,y defined in a region of the xy- plane
and let (a,b) be a point in R. Suppose f(x, y) has all its partial derivatives in a neighbourhood of
(a, b) then

(ie)
+ 3k+
Where h = (x-a) and k = (y-b)

Problem 1: Expand ex siny in powers of x and y as far as terms of third degree about (0,0)
Solution: Taylor’s expansion for the function f(x, y) at (a, b) is given by
f(x,y) = f(a,b) +[+ 2(x-a)(y-b)+

+ 3(y-b)+

f(x,y) = a=0, b=0

f(a,b) =

1
siny 0
1
0
siny 0
1
0
-1
Thus, we have
f(x,y) = f(0,0) +[+ 2(x-0)(y-0)+ + 3(y-0)+

f(x,y) = 0+[+ 2(x-0)(y-0)+ +

3(y-0)

f(x,y)= ex siny =y + xy + = 1+ xy +

Problem 2:Expand in powers of (x-0) and (y-)

Solution: Taylor’s expansion for the function f(x,y) at (a,b) is given by
f(x,y) = f(a,b) +[+ 2(x-a)(y-b)+

+ 3(y-b)+
Here a= 0, b = ; Cos = = sin

f f(a,b) =

-
Thus, We have
f(x,y) = f(0, ) +[+ 2(x-0)(y- ) ++ 3(y- )+

f(x,y) = +[+ 2(x-0)(y- )+

+ 3(y- )
