Exercises 5 - Taylor Series

This document discusses Taylor series and their properties. It contains problems involving determining the convergence of series, finding the interval of convergence of power series, deriving Taylor series for functions about given points, and combining Taylor series to find new series. Specifically, it asks the reader to: 1) Determine if certain series are absolutely convergent or not. 2) Calculate the interval of convergence for power series with given terms. 3) Derive Taylor series for trigonometric, hyperbolic, and logarithmic functions about given points. 4) Combine Taylor series to express other functions as Taylor series valid in certain intervals.
