Finding a Taylor Polynomial
Use the
taylor
(
…
9
) function.
Important:
Degree-mode scaling by
p
/180 may cause calculus application results to
appear in a different form.
User-Defined Functions and Symbolic Manipulation
You can use a user-defined function as an argument for the TI-89 Titanium ’s built-in
algebra and calculus functions.
Find a 6th order Taylor polynomial for
sin(x)
with respect to x.
Store the answer as a user-defined function
named
y1(x)
.
Then graph
sin(x)
and the Taylor polynomial.
