Find the taylor series generated by f at x = a. f(x) = 1/9-x, a = 3.

The generated Taylor series is;

f(x) = 1/6 + (x-3)/36 + (x-3)^2/216 + (x-3)^3/1296

Kindly note that the series here is truncated at the third derivative, but if wanted, evaluation could be more than this

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are to find the Taylor series generated by f at x = a

Mathematically;

f(x)= 1/(9-x)

The f(a) at this point is calculated below;

f(a) = 1/(9-3) = 1/6

The first derivative is calculated below;

f'(x) = 1/(9-x)^2

f'(3) = 1/6^2 = 36

The second derivative is calculated below;

f''(x) = 2/(9-x)^3

f''(3) = 2/(9-3)^3 = 2/6^3 = 2/216 = 1/108

The third derivative is calculated as follows

f'''(x) = 6/(9-x)^4

f'''(3) = 6/(9-3)^4 = 6/6^4 = 1/216..

The Taylor series is thus given by;

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a) (x-a) + f''(a) (x-a)^2/2! + f'''(a) (x-a)^3/3! +...

Substituting the values of 3 for a at each of the points , we obtain the Taylor series as shown below;

f(x) = 1/6 + (x-3)/36 + (x-3)^2*1/108*1/2 + (x-3)^3*1/216*1/6 +...

f(x) = 1/6 + (x-3)/36 + (x-3)^2/216 + (x-3)^3/1296

341

step-by-step explanation:

all you have to do is 9x31 (which equals 279) and then 20x31 (which equals 620). then you have to subtract. 620-279=341.
