Taylor Series Expansion: Formula, Remainder, Solved Problems

In this page, we will learn Taylor series expansion formula along with its remainder form and solved examples. Taylor Series Formula The Taylor series expansion formula of f(x) about x=a is given by f(x) = f(a) + (x-a)f'(a) + $\dfrac{(x-a)^2}{2!}f”(a)$ + $\dfrac{(x-a)^3}{3!}f”'(a) + \cdots$ Maclaurin Series Formula Taylor series expansion of f(x) about x=0 is … Read more

Indeterminate Forms and L’Hospital Rule (Solved Problems)

Indeterminate Form and L’Hospital Rule: L’Hôpital’s rule in Calculus is a powerful tool for solving indeterminate limits of the forms like 0/0 or ∞/∞ by taking the derivatives of the top and bottom simultaneously and then re-evaluating the limit of the resulting quotient. This rule is repeatedly applied till the limit exists, and this value … Read more

Derivative of x^2sin(1/x) at 0

Answer: The derivative of f(x) defined by f(x) = x2sin(1/x) if x≠0 and 0 if x=0 is equal to 0. That if, if f(x) = $\begin{cases} x^2 \sin \left(\dfrac{1}{x} \right) & \text{ if } x \neq 0 \\ 0 & \text{ if } x=0 \end{cases}$, then $f'(0)=0$. Differentiate x^2sin(1/x) Question: Find $f'(0)$ where f(x) is … Read more
