If f (n)(0) = (n + 1)! for n = 0, 1, 2, , find the taylor series at a=0 for f.

Pie

Given that $f^{(n)}(0)=(n+1)!$ , we have for $f(x)$ the Taylor series expansion about 0 as

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty\frac{(n+1)!}{n!}x^n=\sum_{n=0}^\infty(n+1)x^n$

Replace $n+1$ with $n$ , so that the series is equivalent to

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

and notice that

$\displaystyle\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}$

Recall that for $|x|$ , we have

$\displaystyle\sum_{n=0}^\infty x^n=\frac1{1-x}$

which means

$f(x)=\displaystyle\sum_{n=1}^\infty nx^{n-1}=\frac{\mathrm d}{\mathrm dx}\frac1{1-x}$
$\implies f(x)=\dfrac1{(1-x)^2}$

Katie invests $5,000 in an account earning 4% interest, compounded annually for 5 years. Two years after Katie's initial investm

Lyrx [107]

Emily earned $166 more in her account than Katie.

We use the compound interest formula for both of these:

$A=p(1+r)^t$

For Katie's deposit:
$A=5000(1+0.04)^5=5000(1.04)^5 = 6083.26$

This gives Katie 6083.26-5000 = 1083.26 in interest (1083, to the nearest dollar).

For Emily's deposit:
$A=10000(1+0.04)^3=10000(1.04)^3=11248.64$

This means she earned 11248.64-10000=1248.64 in interest (1249, to the nearest dollar).

The difference in interest is given by 1249-1083=166
