Curated OER
Worksheet 38-Spring 1996
In this math worksheet, students determine if the definite integral of given functions exist. They use a Taylor polynomial to approximate given values. Students express the arc length of a graph on a polar coordinate system as an integral.
Curated OER
Taylor Polynomial Examples
Students graph Taylor polynomials. In this calculus lesson, students relate accuracy of a Taylor polynomial to the degree of the equation. They graph their polynomials using the TI calculator.
Curated OER
Taylor and Maclaurin Series
In this Taylor and Maclaurin series activity, learners answer 10 questions about Taylor and Maclaurin series. Students find the Taylor and Maclaurin series for trigonometric, exponential, and inverse functions at a given value.
