Taylor and Maclaurin polynomials about any point up to order 12, with coefficients and a plot against the original function.
Taylor and Maclaurin polynomials about any point up to order 12, with coefficients and a plot against the original function.
Your result will appear here
Builds the Taylor polynomial of a function about a centre a up to order 12 (a Maclaurin polynomial when a = 0). Each coefficient is the symbolic derivative evaluated at the centre divided by k!.
The plot compares the function with its polynomial so you can see where the approximation is good and where it breaks down.
Example
sin(x) about 0, order 5
→ x − (1/6)x³ + (1/120)x⁵
Taylor polynomial of order n about a.
