The red line represents the actual function sin(x) while the other lines are power series used to
approximate the behavior of the function. The higher the degree of the last term of the power
series, the longer it “holds on to” sin(x).

x R= ∞
➢ The set of all values of x for which the power series converges is the interval of
convergence of the power series.

Maclaurin Series
➢ A Maclaurin series is a special type of Taylor Polynomial that is centered at 0. Because
of this, the general formula for a Maclaurin series is

f (x) = ∑ n! (x)

➢ There are several Maclaurin series that you should know by heart. Those include:
