Exam questions on Standard Maclaurin series

  1. Let f(x)=e3xf(x)=\mathrm{e}^{3x}.
    Use the first three terms of the series, with x=0.1x=0.1, to estimate e0.3\mathrm{e}^{0.3} to 3 decimal places.2 marks
  2. Let g(x)=ln⁡(1+2x)g(x)=\ln(1+2x).
    Use the series for g(x)g(x), and for g(−x)g(-x), to find the first two non-zero terms in the series for ln⁡(1+2x1−2x)\ln\left(\dfrac{1+2x}{1-2x}\right).2 marks
  3. Let f(x)=exsin⁡xf(x)=\mathrm{e}^{x}\sin x.
    Use standard series to find the expansion of f(x)f(x) in ascending powers of xx, up to and including the term in x3x^3.3 marks
