Computer Algebra System (CAS) 14-25
Typing:
gives:
• Example — Expansion in the vicinity of x=+∞
or x=–∞
Example 1
Give a 5th-order expansion of arctan(x) in the vicinity of
x=+∞, taking as infinitely small .
Typing:
SERIES(ATAN(X),X =+∞,5)
gives:
Example 2
Give a 2nd-order expansion of in the
vicinity of x=+∞, taking as infinitely small .
gives:
• Unidirectional expansion
To perform an expansion in the vicinity of x = a where
x > a, use a positive real (such as 4.0) for the order.
To perform an expansion in the vicinity of x = a where
x < a, use a negative real (such as –4.0) for the order.
