11/7 post.

so this week in calc bc we finally quit learning the hard stuff in chapter nine, (like sequences and series) and moved on to something that i'm starting to understand better! thank you! haha.
we learned taylor polynomial and some other stuff. so this is the formula thing for it...

Pn(x) = f(c) + F'(c)(x-c) + (f''(c)(x-c)^2)/2! + ... (f^n(c)(x-c)^n)/n!

also we learned somehting called Macclaurin series. this uses the same formula, except everywhere you see c, you put 0. because Macclaurin's formula is centered at 0.

it was all-in-all a pretty simple week. you just follow that formula. i don't think i had any questions. let me just throw in a little something though to make this blog a little longer.

limit rules as n approaches infinity.
1. if top degree > bottom degree = +/- infinity.
2. if top degree < bottom degree = 0.
3. if top degree = bottom degree = divide leading coefficients.

yayyyyyyy :D
