2. Geometric Power Series
If we let cn = 1 for all n, we get a familiar series:
This geometric series has common ratio x and we know the series converges for |x| < 1.
We also know the sum of this series:

6. Polynomial Approximators
Our goal is to generate polynomial functions that can be used to approximate other functions near particular values of x.
The polynomial we seek is of the following form:

12. Beyond Geometric Series Connections: Taylor Series
How can we describe the cn so a power series can represent OTHER functions? ANY functions?
Now we go way back to the ideas that motivated this chapter’s investigations and connections: Polynomial Approximators!

14. Taylor Series Example: f(x) = ex, centered around a = 0.
Look at characteristics of the function in question and connect those to the cn.
Example: f(x) = ex, centered around a = 0.

15. Taylor Series Example: f(x) = ex, centered around a = 0.
And…how far from a = 0 can we stray and still find this re-expression useful?
