Hi students, this is Alex here. In this video we are going to see the introduction for the Taylor series for the function of two variables. Whenever there is a function f of x, y is given, we can expand this using the Taylor series about a point a, b or this can also be told as in the powers of x minus a and y minus b.
So we will be using the Taylor series formula and we are going to discuss how to write that formula. The formula is f of x comma y is equal to first term is f of a comma b. The value of a and b is substituted for x and y. We get a value and that will be substituted here. Then second term is plus 1 by 1 factorial open bracket x minus a into partial differentiation of the function with respect to x at a comma b plus y minus b into partial differentiation of y at a comma b.
Once. if we know how to write this term using this term we can write the rest of the terms this we will treat it like a and this we will treat it like b so the next term will be of the form a plus b whole square so a plus b whole square we know it is a square plus 2ab plus b square and next to that we will be using a plus b whole cube form which is a cube plus 3a square b plus 3ab square plus bq. So after this we have to put plus.
Then continuation of this formula the next term will be 1 by 2 factorial. So we had 1 by 1 factorial now it is 1 by 2 factorial. I told it is of the a plus b whole square. Now a square this square.
This square will be in the form of x minus a whole square but we do not put f square. Instead it is double derivative. Partial differentiation of the x and it is the second order. About a comma b. Then plus 2ab.
So 2 into you have to write x minus a then y minus b. x minus a into. y minus b. Then fx fy. So that can be written as fxy of a comma b.
Then b square which is nothing but y minus b whole square into second differentiation of f with respect to y at a comma b. So we completed the Next term. Then further as I told we will be using a plus b whole cube form. So plus now 1 by 3 factorial it is a cube first. So cube of this that will be x minus a whole cube.
But f x x x above the point a comma b plus 3 a square b. That is. 3. a square is x minus a whole square and b is y minus b and f x x y will come because the first term is square and this is power 1. So it is x x y about the point a comma b. Then next comes 3 a b square. So this will be 3 a and b square.
y minus b whole square. Now f xyy because this is power 1, this is power 2 about the point a comma b. And the last term is we have b cube. So b cube once again we are going to use this form y minus b whole cube into f yyy above. the point a comma b So plus dot dot dot.
This is a way to write the Taylor series formula. So the term starts from f of a comma b then continuously these terms will come. After writing this formula whatever the term we needed that is first differentiation with respect to x and y partial differentiation In second differentiation whatever the term we needed we have to find out separately and substitute in this formula and this gives the Taylor series expansion of a function with two variables.
