I've having some trouble interpreting a graph I receive in mathematica,
maybe someone can help? Here's what I have:
Normal[Series[Sin[x], {x,0,#}]]& /@ {1,3,5,7}
f[#]& /@ {arg1, arg2, arg3}
Join[{a,b,c}, {d,e}]
plotts[fx_, a0_: 0, {x_,a_,b_}, k_List, opt___]
:=Plot[Evaluate[Join[Normal[Series[fx,{x,a0,#}]]& /@ k, {fx}]], {x,a,b},
opt]
now I type the command to graph:
plotts[Log[x+1], {x, -.99,2}, {1,3,25}, PlotRange->{-5,2}]
and all is well however when I change the 25 to 30 I get a different
graph, why? What is going on here? I believe this is a Taylor series
or something, but can someone explain to me when I change the
plotts[Log[x+1], {x, -.99,2}, {1,3,25}, PlotRange->{-5,2}] to
plotts[Log[x+1], {x, -.99,2}, {1,3,30}, PlotRange->{-5,2}] I get a
different graph? I must admit I've only used mathematica for about 15
minutes...so an explanation as to why this graph is changing would
really help.
Thanks,
