Section 4: Lagrange Remainder. Remainder ( R n (x ) ) : the difference between the actual value of the function and the approximation. Lagrange Error Bound.
E N D
Remainder(Rn(x)): the difference between the actual value of the function and the approximation.
Ex 1: a) Use a 6th order Maclaurin polynomial to approximate cos(2). b) Use Lagrange Error Bound to write the upper and lower bounds for your estimate of cos(2).
Ex 2: a) Use a 3rd degree Maclaurin polynomial to approximate . b) How much error?c) What degree polynomial would you need to have an error less than 0.001?
Ex 3: a) Use a 3rd order Taylor polynomial centered at x=1 to approximate ln(1.5). b) Estimate the error in your answer.
Let a) Use a 0th order Maclaurin polynomial to approximate . b) Find R0(1).c) Find z.
