Consider the following function: f(x) = x^(4/5), a = 1, n = 3, 0.7 ≤ x ≤ 1.3. (a) Approximate f by a Taylor polynomial with degree n at the number a. T3(x) = (b) Use Taylor's Inequality to estimate the accuracy of the approximation f(x) ≈ Tn(x) when x lies in the given interval. (Round your answer to eight decimal places.) |R3(x)| ≤ (c) Check your result in part (b) by graphing |Rn(x)|.
