In Maclaurin’s series expansion, where up to f”(0) need to be evaluated, can be done quickly using the GC.
Example
Expand 
up to powers of 2.
Using TI 84 Plus (OS 2.55)
From G.C,
f(0)= 3/2
f'(0) = -3/4
f”(0)= 5/4
Therefore using Maclaurin’s series expansion,
If powers higher than 2 such as 3 are required, then do differentiation to find the first derivative. Then enter into Y1. Y2 and Y3 will then give the second and third derivative.
