The expension of f(x) is called the Maclaurin series expension.

The above expansion is called Maclaurin Theorem.

Example

The expension of f(x) is called the Maclaurin series expension.

The above expansion is called Maclaurin Theorem.

Example

f(x)=a^x

Apply Maclaurin series expension.

f'(x)=a^x(\ln x)

f''(x)=a^x(\ln x)^2

f'''(x)=a^x(\ln x)^3

f^{iv}(x)=a^x(\ln x)^4

Put x=0 above equations

f(0)=a^0

\boxed{f(0)=1}

f'(0)=a^0(\ln x)

\boxed{f'(0)=(\ln x)}

f''(0)=a^0(\ln x)^2

\boxed{f''(0)=(\ln x)^2}

f'''(0)=a^0(\ln x)^3

\boxed{f'''(0)=(\ln x)^3}

f^{iv}(0)=a^0(\ln x)^4

\boxed{f^{iv}(0)=(\ln x)^4}

Substituting these values in the formula.

\boxed{f\left(x\right)=f\left(0\right)+f'\left(0\right)x+\frac{f''\left(0\right)}{2!}x^2+\frac{f'''\left(0\right)}{3!}x^3+\frac{f^{iv}\left(0\right)}{4!}x^4+……}

\boxed{a^x=1+\ln a+\frac{\left(\ln\;a\right)^2}{2!}x^2+\frac{\left(\ln\;a\right)^3}{3!}x^3+\frac{\left(\ln\;a\right)^4}{4!}x^4+\dots\dots}

Example

y=x^n n\neq0

Apply Maclaurin series expension.

y'=nx^{n-1}

y''=n(n-1)x^{n-2}

y'''=n(n-1)(n-2)x^{n-3}

y^{iv}=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)x^{n-4}

Put x=0 above equations

y(0)=0^n

\boxed{y(0)=1}

y'(0)=n0^{n-1}

\boxed{y'(0)=n}

y''(0)=n(n-1)0^{n-2}

\boxed{y''(0)=n(n-1)}

y'''(0)=n(n-1)(n-2)0^{n-3}

\boxed{y'''(0)=n(n-1)(n-2)}

y^{iv}(0)=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)0^{n-4}

\boxed{y^{iv}(0)=n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3)}

Substituting these values in the formula.

\boxed{f\left(x\right)=f\left(0\right)+f'\left(0\right)x+\frac{f''\left(0\right)}{2!}x^2+\frac{f'''\left(0\right)}{3!}x^3+\frac{f^{iv}\left(0\right)}{4!}x^4+……}

\boxed{x^n=1+nx+\frac{n(n-1)x^2}{2!}+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)x^3}{3!}+\frac{n(n-1)(n-2)(n-4)x^4}{4!}…}
