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

Let f(t) be the amount of drug (in mg) in the patient's body t minutes after it is administered. The nurses want to predict how the body will absorb the drug (the shape of the graph y = f(t)) to be able to prepare the next course of action. One of them remembers about Taylor polynomials from their Calculus course and explains that they allow to predict the shape of a function by making very accurate measurements of the function at one point. They decide to do this and they find the following details about the patient's absorption of the drug: • f(15) = 140 • f'(15) = -10 • f" (15) = 12 1 000 Use these details to approximate the average amount of drug in the patient's body over the first 2 hours: 120 1 f(e) dt 120 Important: Remember that the measurements were made at t = 15 minutes.arrow_forward
