given: f(0) = 0, f′(0) = 1, f"(0) = −1, f′′′(0) = 2 A polynomial using these values can be called both Taylor and MacLaurin .
True
False, only MacLaurin
False, only Taylor
False, this polynomial is called Bob
given: f(0) = 0, f′(0) = 1, f"(0) = −1, f′′′(0) = 2 Which of these is the 3rd order Taylor polynomial for f(x), centered at x = 0.
x − 21x2+31x3
x−x2+2x3
none of these
This is true: ex=1+x+2!x2+3!x3+4!x4+...
Is this true, too? e2=1 + 2+2!22+3!23+4!24...
yes, this is why the Taylor stuff is so important
no, what a rediculus idea
yes, but only on Tuesdays
I don't know, but isn't cheese a beautiful thing?
