How to do Taylor expansion without commands?

8 views (last 30 days)
I want to solve e^x with Taylor series, this is what I have, but I need to replace "factorial"
n = input('ingrese valor de n ');
x = input('ingrese valor de x ');
o=exp(x);
q=n;
w=o*0;
for i= 0:q
w= w + (x.^i)./factorial(n)
plot(x,w)
end

What is Taylor series? Can you show the formula for the Taylor series of exp(x)?
Once you have the formula of nth order, then I guess the rest will be straightforward, without using command, factorial, and loops.
There must be an integer limit to the nth order that the user can input, isn't it?

Check the formula for exp(x), you made few mistakes....
n = input('ingrese valor de n ');
x = input('ingrese valor de x ');
s = 0 ;
for i = 0:n
s = s+x^i/myfactorial(i) ;
end
% Check with inbuilt exp
[s exp(x)]
% function for factorial
function a = myfactorial(b)
a = 1 ;
for i = 1:b
a = a*i ;
end
end
