Essential Question: How do I write a Taylor or McClaurin polynomial and use them to estimate the output of a given function without a calculator

Pg 630-631

#1, 4, 7, 8, 10 (on these find as many terms of the polynomial as necessary to determine the series, use definition which means the long way)

#17, 19, 20, 21, 23, 27, 31, 36  (on these use your memorization tricks if you want to get a fourth degree Maclaurin polynomial, don't follow book directions)

#49, 50  (Solve these)





Pg 604-605

#8, 9, 12, 14, 15, 18, 19, 20, 28, 29, 30, 31

Probably 2 hours of work all together


Long assignment worth 60 points (30 each)
