How to do a Taylor expansion with a matrix

I have tried the official matlab website that describes the Taylor expansion, but it doesn't work!
G = [0,4;4,0];
T = taylor(exp(G));
error message "Function 'taylor' (input argument of type 'double') is undefined."
I would like to know the result of infinite convergence separately.
I would be glad if you could tell me!

I am not sure I understand your query. A Taylor expansion can be constructed for a function of some variable x. What you are feeding into the Taylor function taylor(), seems to be a constant. You can't have a Taylor expansion, approximation or anything for a constant.

You cannot compute the Taylor series of a constant. You CAN compute a Taylor series, and then evaluate it at that constant value, since the truncated series is then a polynomial.
Will only a few terms from that Taylor series be close to yielding a convergent result? This is something you need to consider, and that is a big part of your homework where you have shown no effort. The eigenvalues of G will be an important factor.
G = [0,4;4,0];
eig(G)
So, given that, will a simple Taylor series for exp(x) converge well for x==4 (or x==-4, for that matter)? How many terms would you expect that to require? Why did I compute the eigenvalues of G here? How are they pertinent?

Isn't the Taylor series of function that's a constant just the constant?
syms f(x)
f(x) = sym(8);
taylor(f(x))
