Step 1
The Taylor polynomial of degree n for the function cos(x) centered at 0 is given by the Maclaurin series: $$ P_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^k}{(2k)!}x^{2k} = 1 - \frac{x^2}{2!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} - \frac{x^6}{6!} + \cdots $$ Show more…

The Taylor series for f(x) = ln(sec(x)) at a = 0 is ∑(n=0 to ∞) cn(x)^n. Find the first few coefficients. c0 = 0, c1 = 0, c2 = 1/2, c3 = 0, c4 = 1/12. Find the exact error in approximating ln(sec(-0.1)) by its fourth degree Taylor polynomial at a = 0. The error is 0.000008.

use Theorem 10.3 to find a bound for the error in approximating the quantity with a third-degree Taylor polynomial for the given function $f(x)$ about $x=0 .$ Compare the bound with the actual error. $$0.5^{1 / 3}, f(x)=(1-x)^{1 / 3}$$
