The error of a Taylor polynomial (relativistic kinetic energy)

$begingroup$


I have been trying to utilize the formula:

I simply cannot figure out how to determine the error when using

Instead of:



enter image description here



I have made a Taylor polynomial around 0 of grade 4, and I cannot find the deviation when using the Taylor polynomial instead of the original function.



The Taylor polynomial is:

And it was made of the Lorentz factor:

    Did you have a look at Taylor-Lagrange formula ?

    Yes I have, but I cannot figure out how to implement it. Every example of using it that I can find, uses the the natural exponential function or a trigonometric function, and their bound is easy to figure out.

    You can get a bound on the error with Taylor-Lagrange as soon as you can calculate the Taylor series. What is blocking you ?

Let us call $f(t)$ the function
$$f(t) = frac{1}{sqrt{1-t}} $$



The $k^{th}$ derivative function of $f()$ is equal to
$$f^{k}(t) = frac{prod_{i=1}^k{(2i-1)}}{2^k} (1-t)^{-frac{2k+1}{2}} $$
This last relation can for example be demonstrated by recurrence.



According to Taylor-Lagrange formula, there exists $xi$ between $0$ and $t$ such that



$$f(t) = 1 + frac{t}{2} + frac{3}{8}t^2 + frac{5}{16}(1-xi)^{-7/2},t^3 = 1 + frac{t}{2} + frac{3}{8}t^2 + R(t)$$



It follows



$$0 < R(t) < frac{5}{16}(1-t)^{-7/2},t^3 $$



Now, one just have to replace $t$ :
$$t = x^2 = left(frac{v}{c}right)^2$$
