Chapter 9 - Power Series - 9.4 Working with Taylor Series - 9.4 Exercises - Page 703: 46

Answer

$\sqrt e=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}{2!}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^3}{3!}+.......$

Work Step by Step

The first $4$ non-zero terms of Taylor series can be written as: $e^x=1+x+\dfrac{x^2}{2!}+\dfrac{x^3}{3!}+.......$ Plug $x=\dfrac{1}{2}$ in the above equation to obtain: $e^{\dfrac{1}{2}}=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}{2!}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^3}{3!}+.......$ \Sigma Therefore, the first $4$ non-zero terms of an infinite series is equal to: $\sqrt e=1+\dfrac{1}{2}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^2}{2!}+\dfrac{(\dfrac{1}{2})^3}{3!}+.......$
