Creating a Taylor Polynomial
An Example
Write the first four non-zero terms of
the Taylor polynomial for f(x) = lnx,
centered at x = 2.
Let’s get to work!
I suggest starting by finding the first three derivatives of
f(x) = lnx and then plugging in the center.
 𝑓 𝑥 = ln 𝑥
 𝑓′ 𝑥 =
1
𝑥
 𝑓′′
𝑥 = −
1
𝑥2
 𝑓′′′
𝑥 =
2
𝑥3
 𝑓 2 = ln 2
 𝑓′ 2 =
1
2
 𝑓′′
2 = −
1
4
 𝑓′′′ 2 =
2
8
=
1
4
Then, I recommend constructing the terms
one-by-one using the general set up:

𝑓 𝑛 (𝑐)(𝑥−𝑐) 𝑛
𝑛!
Here We Go!
Non-Zero Term #1 (0 Derivatives)

𝑓(2)(𝑥−2)0
0!
=
ln 2(𝑥−2)0
0!
= ln 2
Non-Zero Term #2 (1st Derivative)

𝑓′(2)(𝑥−2)1
1!
=
1
2
(𝑥−2)
1
=
1
2
(𝑥 − 2)
Here We Go!
Non-Zero Term #3 (2nd Derivative)

𝑓′′(2)(𝑥−2)2
2!
=
−
1
4
(𝑥−2)2
2
=
−
1
8
(𝑥 − 2)2
Non-Zero Term #4 (3rd Derivative)

𝑓′′′(2)(𝑥−2)3
3!
=
1
4
(𝑥−2)3
6
=
1
24
(𝑥 − 2)3
Our Taylor Polynomial with four non-zero
terms is:
ln 2 +
1
2
𝑥 − 2 −
1
8
𝑥 − 2 2
+
1
24
(𝑥 − 2)3

Creating a Taylor Polynomial

  • 1. Creating a Taylor Polynomial An Example
  • 2. Write the first four non-zero terms of the Taylor polynomial for f(x) = lnx, centered at x = 2. Let’s get to work!
  • 3. I suggest starting by finding the first three derivatives of f(x) = lnx and then plugging in the center.  𝑓 𝑥 = ln 𝑥  𝑓′ 𝑥 = 1 𝑥  𝑓′′ 𝑥 = − 1 𝑥2  𝑓′′′ 𝑥 = 2 𝑥3  𝑓 2 = ln 2  𝑓′ 2 = 1 2  𝑓′′ 2 = − 1 4  𝑓′′′ 2 = 2 8 = 1 4
  • 4. Then, I recommend constructing the terms one-by-one using the general set up:  𝑓 𝑛 (𝑐)(𝑥−𝑐) 𝑛 𝑛!
  • 5. Here We Go! Non-Zero Term #1 (0 Derivatives)  𝑓(2)(𝑥−2)0 0! = ln 2(𝑥−2)0 0! = ln 2 Non-Zero Term #2 (1st Derivative)  𝑓′(2)(𝑥−2)1 1! = 1 2 (𝑥−2) 1 = 1 2 (𝑥 − 2)
  • 6. Here We Go! Non-Zero Term #3 (2nd Derivative)  𝑓′′(2)(𝑥−2)2 2! = − 1 4 (𝑥−2)2 2 = − 1 8 (𝑥 − 2)2 Non-Zero Term #4 (3rd Derivative)  𝑓′′′(2)(𝑥−2)3 3! = 1 4 (𝑥−2)3 6 = 1 24 (𝑥 − 2)3
  • 7. Our Taylor Polynomial with four non-zero terms is: ln 2 + 1 2 𝑥 − 2 − 1 8 𝑥 − 2 2 + 1 24 (𝑥 − 2)3
