, so
limit = 1 as x->0, so set g(0)=1.
10) System:
,
so we get coefficients:

and to bound error
we
need find maximum of
on interval -
,
so find its derivative (the fourth derivative, set equal to zero, at it
has a local max at x=0,
,
but comparing the endpoints, we see maximum is a
,
so
4)
,
b/c absolute value of cos(x) < 1. Using calculator, we need n>=4, or
degree 2n-1 >=7.
6)
,
and using the fact that on 0<x<1, e^x < 3 we get:
,
and to make this less that 10^(-5) we need n>=9.
8) Algebra too complicated to type, basic cancellation is:
.
10) f(1)= 2, f'(1)=6, f''(1)=30, f'''(1)=120, f''''(1)=360,
f'''''(1)=720, f''''''(1)=720. By Taylor's theorem
,
so
.
12)
,
by substitution.
,
and following the work in the book (after equation 1.18). Using the MVT
we get:
,
this is our remainder term.
14)
Notice that in the log series, I have two different constants
c in the remainder terms, but it turns out the are just opposites of each
other.
16) The remainder term from question 12
,
for 0<x<=1 we can bound it like: we know 0<c<1, so 0<c2<1
so 1<1+c2<2, so
,
and if I want this less than 10^(-10), then I need 2n+3 > 1010.
That is a HUGE number, not practical at all.
