Moreover, the polynomial function we derive from this formula can approximate the actual function at an arbitrary degree of accuracy. This formula for approximating a function at point x=0 was first discovered by mathematician Colin Maclaurin. Therefore, it is also called Maclaurin series. You ...
Polynomial functions comprise various combinations of constants, variables, and exponents. Explore the terminology of polynomial functions, including words like coefficients, terms, and degree, then analyze a polynomial by putting it all together. ...
Rational Function Basics take the form f(x) = where p(x) and q(x) are polynomial functions and q(x) ≠ 0.Put more simply, rational functions have variables in the denominator.-X Each "piece" of the rational function is called a Rational functions may have vertical or horizontal An...

This chapter promotes, details, and exploits the fact that splines—that is, smooth piecewise polynomial functions, are weighted sums of B-splines. It provides definitions of piecewise polynomials and B-splines. B-splines are defined in terms of a knot sequence. The chapter describes the ...

The non-homogeneous form of the Taylor polynomial, which approximates the value of f at x=\bar{x}+\Delta x, is P_{n}(x) =f(\bar{x})+G_{n}(\Delta x) =f(\bar{x})+f^{\prime}(\bar{x}) \Delta x+\frac{1}{2} f^{\prime \prime}(\bar{x})(\Delta x)^{2}+\frac{...
