Taylor Polynomial

[akwasi98]

Find the Taylor polynomial about x=a of degree n for each function

(a) 1/1+x, a=0, n=4

(b) sqrt of x, a=4, n=2

(c) xlnx, a=2, find the general expression for the series

I'm stuck on how to start this problem so if i can see how one of them is done then i should be able to follow the steps to do the rest. Thanks

Your textbook surely has an expression depicting the Taylor's expansion of general function f(x) around a point 'a[sub:3nv61be6]o[/sub:3nv61be6]'.

What is it?

If you don't have your textbook - google "taylor's series"

Please write it down and go from there.....
