Taylor Series
Taylor series of Single Variable Functions
$ \,f(x) \ = \ f(a) \ + \ f'(a)(x \ - \ a) \ + \ \frac{f''(a)(x-a)^2}{2!} \ + \ \cdot \cdot \cdot \ + \ \frac{f^{(n-1)}(a)(x-a)^{n-1}}{(n-1)!} \ + \ R_n \, $
$ \text{Rest of Lagrange } \qquad R_n = \frac {f^{(n)}(\zeta)(x-a)^n}{n!} $
$ \text{Rest of Cauchy } \qquad R_n = \frac {f^{(n)}(\zeta)(x-\zeta)^{n-1}(x-a)}{(n-1)!} $
Binomial Series
$ \begin{align} (a+x)^n & = a^n + na^{n-1}x + \frac {n(n-1)}{2!} a^{n-2}x^2 + \frac {n(n-1)(n-2)}{3!} a^{n-3}x^3 + \cdot \cdot \cdot \\ & = a^n + \binom{n}{1} a^{n-1}x + \binom{n}{2} a^{n-2}x^2 + \binom{n}{3} a^{n-3}x^3 + \cdot \cdot \cdot \\ \end{align} $
Some particular Cases:
$ (a+x)^2 \ = \ a^2 \ + \ 2ax \ + \ x^2 $
$ (a+x)^3 \ = \ a^3 \ + \ 3a^2x \ + \ 3ax^2 \ + \ x^3 $
$ (a+x)^4 \ = \ a^4 \ + \ 4a^3x \ + \ 6a^2x^2 \ + \ 4ax^3 \ + \ x^4 $
$ (a+x)^{-1} \ = \ 1 \ - \ x \ + \ x^2 \ - \ x^3 \ + \ x^4 \ - \ \cdot \cdot \cdot $ $ -1 < x < 1 \qquad $
$ (a+x)^{-2} \ = \ 1 \ - \ 2x \ + \ 3x^2 \ - \ 4x^3 \ + \ 5x^4 \ - \ \cdot \cdot \cdot $ $ -1 < x < 1 \qquad $
$ (a+x)^{-3} \ = \ 1 \ - \ 3x \ + \ 6x^2 \ - \ 10x^3 \ + \ 15x^4 \ - \ \cdot \cdot \cdot $ $ -1 < x < 1 \qquad $
$ (a+x)^{-1/2} \ = \ 1 \ - \ x \ + \ x^2 \ - \ x^3 \ + \ x^4 \ - \ \cdot \cdot \cdot $ $ -1 < x < 1 \qquad $
