QuestionThe Taylor polynomials we've shown you so far really do closely resemble the functions they come from, close to their centres.
In fact, a degree nn-Taylor polynomial for f(x)f(x) (when f(x)f(x) is one of the functions whose Maclaurin polynomials are on the list you should know) at x=0x=0 will approximate the function f(x)f(x) on the order of xnx^{n}. More precisely, limxa(f(x)Tn(x)xn)=0\lim _{x \rightarrow a}\left(\frac{f(x)-T_{n}(x)}{x^{n}}\right)=0
Notice that the above limit is a 00\frac{0}{0} form. So the fact that the overall limit is zero means that the numerator f(x)Tn(x)f(x)-T_{n}(x) goes to zero faster than the denominator xnx^{n}.
Using this, evaluate the following limits: (a) limx0cos(x)1+x229x4=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos (x)-1+\frac{x^{2}}{2}}{9 x^{4}}= \square (b) limx0e3x13x9x22x3=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{3 x}-1-3 x-\frac{9 x^{2}}{2}}{x^{3}}= \square (c) limx0sin(x)x+x362x4=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin (x)-x+\frac{x^{3}}{6}}{2 x^{4}}= \square (d) limx0ex5log(1+x7)+cos(x99)sin(x7)1x12=\lim _{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{e^{x^{5}} \log \left(1+x^{7}\right)+\cos \left(x^{99}\right)-\sin \left(x^{7}\right)-1}{x^{12}}= \square
