Question

Find the second Taylor polynomial P2(x) for the function f(x) = √4 + x
about x0 = 0. Approximate √3.9 using P2(x). Find the absolute error and the relative error for the approximation (you can use your calculator to find the “exact” value for √3.9).

Expert Solution

Step 1

The Taylors series expansion can be used to approximate the values of the function at a point. The series expansion is obtained using the formula f(x)=k=0fk(x0)k!x-x0k.

Here, k is the number of terms, x0 is the point around which the series is expanded. The expansion can be calculated using the derivatives of the function.
