Taylor series with plus inside

SUMMARY

The discussion clarifies the variation of the Taylor series formula represented as f(x+h) = ∑(k=0 to ∞) (f^(k)(x)/k!)(h^k). This form arises when substituting y = x + h and y0 = x, leading to the standard Taylor series f(y) = ∑(k=0 to ∞) (f^(k)(y0)/k!)(y - y0)^k. The transformation highlights how the Taylor series can be adapted for different points of expansion without altering its fundamental structure.

i can't understand how the got this variation of taylor series formula
[tex]f(x+h)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{(k)}(x)}{k!}(h)^k[/tex]

when around some point there is no x-x_0

The Taylor series is usually written this way (using y instead of x, though).
[tex]f(y)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{f^{(k)}(y_0)}{k!}(y - y_0)^k[/tex]

If you let y = x + h, y0 = x, and y - y0 = h, you'll get the form you have.
