Maclaurin series approximations
The diagram shows the Maclaurin series approximation to degree n for the exponential function. The exponential function is shown in red and the Maclaurin series approximation function is shown in blue. Move point A to see the error in the approximation at different points.[br][br]Use the slider to change the value of n.[br][br]You can use the toolbar to zoom in and out, or move the drawing pad to look at different parts of the graph.[br][br]Click the checkbox to look at the values of the derivatives at point A. In particular, compare the values when A has x-coordinate 0.

Finding and using Maclaurin series
1. Construct a straight line [math]y=a+bx[/math] which is a good approximation at the point where [math]x=0[/math][br][br]2. Find a quadratic [math]y=a+bx+cx^2[/math] which is a good approximation to [math]y=e^x[/math] [br][br][i]It should go through (0,1), in addition it should have the same derivative at (0,1) and the same second derivative at (0,1)[/i]
