Approximations What is sin 0 ? What is log 1 ? What is arctan 0 ? What is sin 0.25 ? What is log 1.3 ? What is arctan 1.1 ? Graphed using desmos.com We want NUMBERS! (Or something close enough)
Approximations What is sin 0 = 0 What is log 1 = 0 What is arctan 0 = 0 What is sin 0.25 ? What is log 1.3 ? What is arctan 1.1 ? We want NUMBERS! (Or something close enough)
Zeroeth Order Approximation The approximating function would have order zero (aka constant) Given a function ?(?) on the real line Fix a point ? Want a function ?(?)to approximate the value of ?(?) near (and at) ?. We define a function ? ? = ?(?).
Example 1 ? ? = ?? ? = 0 ? ? = ?0= 1 Graphed using desmos.com ? 0.1 = 1 ,?0.1= 1.10517091808 At ? = 0.1,
Remark This would only work if we knew what ? ? was ? Can t do this for ? ? = ?? and ? = 14 coz we don t know what ?14is.
First order approximation Approximating function ? ? is of first order ? ? = ? + ?? Given a (differentiable) function ?(?) on the real line Fix a point ? Choose ? = ? ? ? ? ? and ? = ? ? ? ? = ? ? ? ? ? + ? ? ? ? ? = ? ? + ? (?)(? ?)
Example 2 ? ? = ?? ? = 0 ? ? = ?0+ 1 ? 0 ? ? = 1 + ? At ? = 0.1, ? 0.1 = 1.1 ?0.1= 1.10517091808
Example 3 Find an approximate value of 5 ? Identify a function ?(?) Make an (intelligent) choice of a point ? Find ? ?
Example 3 Find an approximate value of 5 ? Identify a function ?(?) Make an (intelligent) choice of a point ? Find ? ? ? ? = ? = 4 (good choice as we know ? ? = ? ? = 2 + (? 4)1 ? 4 = 2) 4 5 4 4 ? 5 = 2 + = 2 + 0.25 = 2.25 5 = 2.236
Example 4 Approximate ? ? (Hint: this function came before)
? ? = arctan(?) ? = 0
Finding the Golden ratio! (drum roll) ?+? ? = ? ?= ? ?=? ? ? ?+? 1 +1 ?= ? ? + 1 = ?2 ?2 ? 1 = 0 ? is a solution of the polynomial ? ? = ?2 ? 1 By Max Ronnersj - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=19108050
? =1+ 5 1+2.25 = 1.625 2 2 ? = 1.618033
Second order approximation Approximating function ? ? is of second order (degree 2) ? ? = ? + ?? + ??2 Given a (differentiable) function ?(?) on the real line Fix a point ? ? ? = ? ? + ? ? ? ? +? ? ? ?2 2
Example 5 Approximate ?0.1 using second order approximation?
Example 6 Approximate 5 using second order approximation?
To sum it all up ? ? = ?? Zeroeth order approximation ? ? = ? ? First order approximation ? ? = ? ? + ? (?)(? ?) Second order approximation ? ? = ? ? + ? ? ? ? +? ? ? ?2 2
Higher order approximation aka Taylor polynomials 3?? order approximation ? ? = ? ? + ? ? ? ? +? ? ? ?2+? ? ? ?3 2 3! ?? order approximation ? ? = ? ? + ? ? ? ? +? ? ? ?2+ +?(?)? ? ?? 2 ?! ??(?)? ? ?? ? ? = 0 ?!
Compute the 5? order Taylor polynomial for log ? about ? = 1.
Compute the 5? order Taylor polynomial for log ? about ? = 1. And the final slide!
