Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample. a. Only even powers
Question:
Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counterexample.
a. Only even powers of x appear in the Taylor polynomials for f(x) = e-2x centered at 0.
b. Let f(x) = x5 - 1. The Taylor polynomial for f of order 10 centered at 0 is f itself.
c. Only even powers of x appear in the nth-order Taylor polynomial for f(x) = √1 + x2 centered at 0.
d. Suppose f" is continuous on an interval that contains a, where f has an inflection point at a. Then the second-order Taylor polynomial for f at a is linear.
