The Dirty (half) dozenI thought about calling it the unlucky bakers dozen…but I thought it was
trying to hard.
My third option was …. 6

We were given the basic form to write these ‘polynomial approximations’ (aka: taylor polynomials). It was:

We also found the more terms we used…the better the approximations become (the desmos graph demonstration)

The polynomials have to be centered somewhere…meaning we have to have a point where we are evaluating all of the derivatives
Yesterday we were all using 0 as the centering point for our ‘taylorpolynomials’…i.e. we set c=0 for our polynomial approx. (taylor poly.)

When using polynomials to approximate, we are interested in getting the ‘best’ approximate we can.• So far, this means more terms…3,4,5,73, …as many as you can get.
• Another way to better your approximate is to move where you are centering your polynomial approximation … if the center is moved closer to the value you are trying to approximate, your approximation will be better.
What would it look like if we moved where our taylor polynomials were centered?
BTW…This is LT 1 for today!
**The A.P. folks will choose where the polynomial is centered for you!
If we were all using 1 as the centering point for our ‘taylorpolynomials’…i.e. we set c=1 for our polynomial approx. (taylor poly.)

Let’s do one from yesterday:
Write a 5th degree Taylor Polynomials centered at 0 to apporixmatef(x)= sin(x)
Let’s change it up and center it :
Write a 5th degree Taylor Polynomials centered at 0 to apporixmatef(x)= sin(x)
