(A) Explanation Definition used: Taylor series : “If f is a function with derivatives of all order at a point a , p n ( x ) = ∑ k = 0 n a k ( x − a ) k is the n th-degree Taylor polynomial for f at a and a n = f ( n ) ( a ) n ! , n = 0 , 1 , 2 , 3 … , then ∑ k = 0 ∞ a k ( x − a ) k = a 0 + a 1 ( x − a ) + a 2 ( x − a ) 2 + a 3 ( x − a ) 3 + … + a n ( x − a ) n + ⋯ is the Taylor series for f at a. The Taylor series converges at x if lim n → ∞ p n ( x ) = lim n → ∞ ∑ k = 0 n a k ( x − a ) k exists and diverges at x if this limit does not exists. The set of numbers x for which this limit exists is called the interval of convergence”. Calculation: Use the four-step process to obtain the n t h degree Taylor polynomial the function f ( x ) = 1 x at a = 1 . Step 1: Differentiate the function f ( x ) = 1 x with respect to x and obtain the derivatives up to n t h order as follows. f ′ ( x ) = d d x ( 1 x ) = − 1 x 2 Differentiate f ′ ( x ) with respect to x . f ″ ( x ) = − d d x ( 1 x 2 ) = 2 × 1 x 3 = 2 ! x 3 Similarly, the third order derivative of f ( x ) is, f ( 3 ) ( x ) = d d x ( 2 ! x 3 ) = − 3 × 2 ! x 4 = − 3 ! x 4 The fourth order derivative of the function f ( x ) is, f ( 4 ) ( x ) = − d d x ( 3 ! x 4 ) = 4 × 3 ! x 5 = 4 ! x 5 Continue on the same manner, the n t h -order derivative of the function f ( x ) is f ( n ) ( x ) = ( − 1 ) n n ! x n + 1 . Step 2: Obtain the values of f ( x ) , f ′ ( x ) , f ″ ( x ) , f ( 3 ) ( x ) , f ( 4 ) ( x ) , ⋯ , f ( n ) ( x ) by substituting x = 1 as follows (B) To determine To find: The Taylor series for the function f ( x ) = 1 x at a = 1 . (C) To determine To find: The numbers x for which f ( x ) = lim n → ∞ p n ( x ) .
