Big-oh notation and Taylor Polynomials

76 Views Asked by At

My calculus book states that:

We write $f(x)=\mathcal{O}(u(x))$ as $x\to a$ provided that $|f(x)|\le K|u(x)|$

This means that for example as $x \to 0$:

$$e^x-P_1(x)=\mathcal{O}(x^2)$$

...where $P_1(x)$ is the first order Taylor Polynomial for $e^x$.

What I do not understand is what the use of this statement is when talking about Taylor polynomials.

For example: aren't the following statements also true as $x \to 0$?

$$e^x-P_1(x)=\mathcal{O}(x+1)$$

$$e^x-P_1(x)=\mathcal{O}(1)$$

$$e^x-P_1(x)=\mathcal{O}(x^3+1)$$

For all of these examples we can find some $K$ for which the statement is valid close to $0$, isn't it?

I either don't understand something about Big-Oh notation, or I don't understand the use of Big-Oh notation in Taylor Polynomials. What is so special about $e^x-P_1(x)=\mathcal{O}(x^2)$?

Please help me to shed some light on this issue.
