Activity 8.5.2

Avg difficulty 2.5

Use known Taylor series and substitution and algebraic techniques to find a Taylor series representation for each of the following functions. In addition, state the interval of xx-values for which you expect each Taylor series to converge.

  1. g(x)=x3sin⁡(x2)g(x) = x^3 \sin(x^2)

  2. h(x)=e−x4h(x) = e^{-x^4}

  3. p(x)=11+5xp(x) = \dfrac{1}{1+5x}

  4. q(x)=x2ln⁡(1+x4)q(x) = x^2\ln(1+x^4)

  5. r(x)=e3x−13xr(x) = \dfrac{e^{3x}-1}{3x}
