Example 3.  Consider the function  [Graphics:Images/TaylorPolyMod_gr_189.gif].  
3 (c).  Find the terms up to  [Graphics:Images/TaylorPolyMod_gr_191.gif]  in the Maclaurin series and see how close it approximates  f[x].
Solution 3 (c).

3 (c).  Find the terms up to  [Graphics:../Images/TaylorPolyMod_gr_265.gif]  in the Maclaurin series and see how close it approximates  f[x].

Go ahead "enjoy" and add terms in the series up to [Graphics:../Images/TaylorPolyMod_gr_266.gif], then plot the functions over the interval [Graphics:../Images/TaylorPolyMod_gr_267.gif].
