Read each question carefully and answer to the best of your ability. Show all your work where applicable.
1. What is the main idea behind using a polynomial to approximate a function?
2. A Taylor series is an expansion of a function into an infinite sum of terms.
3. The point around which a Taylor series is expanded is called the point.
4. As the degree of the approximating polynomial in a Taylor series increases, what generally happens to the accuracy of the approximation near the expansion point?
Accuracy decreases
Accuracy increases
Accuracy remains the same
It depends on the function only
5. A Taylor series can always perfectly represent a function over its entire domain.
True
False
6. Imagine you want to approximate the value of sin(0.1) using a polynomial. Why might a Taylor series expansion around x=0 be a good approach?
