2. Consider the Taylor polynomials of f(x) = √√x centered at x = 9.
(a) Find T₁(x), T2(x), and T3(x).
(b) Use Desmos to plot f(x) as well as the above Taylor polynomials on the same set of axes.
(c) Use T₁(x), T2(x) and T3(x) to approximate √9.1.
(d) Find the error in these approximations. The error is defined to be |√9.1 — TË(9.1)]. (Recall
that |xy| is the "number line distance" between x and y.)
