Problem 9

Problem Statement

Pg. 7-1

${\frac {\mathbf {[e^{x}-1]} }{\boldsymbol {x}}}={\boldsymbol {{\frac {1}{x}}[e^{x}-1]}}={\boldsymbol {f(x)}}$

1) Expand $\exp ^{x}$ in Taylor Series w/ remainder:

${\boldsymbol {R(x)={\frac {(x-0)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}}exp\left[\zeta (x)\right]}}$

2) Find Taylor Series Expansion and Remainder of f(x). eq. 4 of p 6-3.--Egm6341.s10.team2.niki 02:26, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Solution

Given:

${\boldsymbol {P_{n}(x)=f(x_{0})+{\frac {(x-x_{0})}{1!}}f^{(1)}(x_{0})+...+{\frac {(x-x_{0})^{n}}{n!}}f^{(n)}(x_{0})}}$

[equation 4 p 2-2]

${\boldsymbol {R(x)={\frac {(x-0)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}}exp\left[\zeta (x)\right]}}$

[equation 1 p 2-3]

Part 1

${\boldsymbol {P_{n}(x)=e^{x_{0}}+{\frac {(x-x_{0})}{1!}}e^{x_{0}}+...+{\frac {(x-x_{0})^{n}}{n!}}e^{x_{0}}}}$

for the case that $x_{0}=0$, we get,

${\boldsymbol {P_{n}(x)=1+{\frac {(x)}{1!}}+...+{\frac {(x)^{n}}{n!}}}}$

${\boldsymbol {P_{n}(x)}}$ =${\boldsymbol {\sum _{j=0}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{j}}{j!}}}}$

Using equation 1 p 2-3, we get the remainder as

${\boldsymbol {R_{n+1}(x)={\frac {(x-x_{0})^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x))}}$

for $x_{0}=0$, we get

${\boldsymbol {R_{n+1}(x)={\frac {(x)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x))}}$

finally, ${\boldsymbol {f(x)=e^{x}=\sum _{j=1}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{j}}{j!}}+{\frac {(x)^{n+1}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x))}}$

Part 2

${\boldsymbol {f(x)={\frac {1}{x}}[e^{x}-1]}}$

${\boldsymbol {e^{x}=\sum _{j=0}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{j}}{j!}}=1+{\frac {x}{1!}}+{\frac {x^{2}}{2!}}+...+{\frac {x^{n}}{n!}}}}$

$\therefore {\boldsymbol {[e^{x}-1]={\frac {x}{1!}}+{\frac {x^{2}}{2!}}+...+{\frac {x^{n}}{n!}}}}$

dividing both sides by x we get,

${\boldsymbol {{\frac {[e^{x}-1]}{x}}=f(x)=\sum _{j=1}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{j-1}}{j!}}}}$

and remainder becomes

${\boldsymbol {R_{n+1}(x)={\frac {(x)^{n}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x))}}$

since $x_{0}=0$, we have

${\boldsymbol {R_{n+1}(x)={\frac {(x)^{n}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x)}}$ where $\zeta (x))\epsilon [0,x]$

Finally,

${\boldsymbol {f(x)={\frac {[e^{x}-1]}{x}}=\sum _{j=1}^{\infty }{\frac {x^{j-1}}{j!}}+{\frac {(x)^{n}}{(n+1)!}}f^{(n+1)}(\zeta (x))}}$

problem 4

Problem Statement

Pg 5-1.

Prove the Integral Mean Value Theorem (IMVT) p. 2-3 for w(.) non-negative. i.e $\ w\geq 0$

Solution

We have the IMVT as

${\boldsymbol {\int _{a}^{b}f(x)w(x)dx=f(\xi )\int _{a}^{b}w(x)dx}}$

For a given function ${\boldsymbol {f(x)}}$ Let m be the minimum of the function and M be the maximum of the same function

Then we know that, ${\boldsymbol {m\leq f(x)\leq M}}$

multiplying the inequality throughout by ${\boldsymbol {w(x)\geq 0}}$ and integrating between ${\boldsymbol {[a,b]}}$ we get

${\boldsymbol {\int _{a}^{b}m.w(x)dx=\int _{a}^{b}f(x).w(x)dx=\int _{a}^{b}M.w(x)dx}}$

${\boldsymbol {m\int _{a}^{b}w(x)dx=\int _{a}^{b}f(x).w(x)dx=M\int _{a}^{b}w(x)dx}}$

writing ${\boldsymbol {\int _{a}^{b}w(x)=I}}$, we get

${\boldsymbol {mI\leq \int _{a}^{b}f(x)w(x)dx\leq MI}}$

It is seen that when w(x) = 0, the result is valid. Consider the case when w(x) > 0

dividing throughout by ${\boldsymbol {I}}$

${\boldsymbol {m\leq {\frac {1}{I}}\int _{a}^{b}f(x)w(x)dx\leq M}}$

From the Intermediate Value Theorem, we know that there exists ${\boldsymbol {\xi \epsilon [a,b]}}$ such that

${\boldsymbol {f(\xi )={\frac {1}{I}}\int _{a}^{b}f(x)w(x)dx}}$

i.e

${\boldsymbol {f(\xi )\int _{a}^{b}w(x)dx=\int _{a}^{b}f(x)w(x)dx}}$
