(iii) Show that the approximate value of \( \sqrt[4]{17} \) is 2.03125 .
(iv) Show that the approximate value of 2.03125 is only correct up to 2 decimal places.
That is, we can only say with certainty, \( \sqrt[4]{17}=2.03 \).
2. TAYLOR POLYNOMIALS
Question 2. [2, 6,1, 5 marks] Use the second order Taylor polynomial about 16 to approximate \( \sqrt[4]{17} \), as follows:
(i) Explain why the tabular point \( x_{0}=16 \) is a good tabular point.
(ii) Prove the the replacement cubic at \( x_{0}=16 \) is given by
\[
P_{3}(x)=2+\frac{1}{2^{5}}(x-16)-\frac{3}{2^{12}}(x-16)^{2}+\frac{21}{3 \cdot 2^{18}}(x-16)^{3} .
\]
(iii) Show that the approximate value of \( \sqrt[4]{17} \) is \( 2.03054428100585 \ldots \)
(iv) Show that the approximate value of \( 2.03054428100585 \ldots \) is only correct up to 4 decimal places.
That is, we can only say with certainty, \( \sqrt[4]{17}=2.0305 \).
