Question
Taylor's theorem problem: Let f(x; y) = cos(2x + 3y).
a) Find the first, second, and third order partial derivatives of f.
b) Find the equation of the best quadratic surface (Q) approximating f at
the origin. [i.e. the second order Taylor polynomial P2(x, y)]
c) Write the expression for the error in f [ the remainder].
d) What is the order of the error: O(||(x; y)||^2) or O(||(x; y)||^3)? Hint: |x| <= ||(x, y)|| and |y| <= ||(x,y)||.
e) Find a bound on max{| f(x, y)- P2(x, y) |} on the set where ||(x, y)|| <= 0:1.
Explanation / Answer
Taylor's theorem states that any function satisfying certain conditions may be represented by a Taylor series
f(x)=f(0)+f'(0)+x^2/2! * f''(0)+ -------------- +x^(n-1)/(n-1)! *f^(n-1)(0)
