Write the third-degree Taylor polynomial for f about x = 3 and use it to approximate f(3.1). (3) c. Let F be the function given by F(x) = ?_3^x f(t) dt.

Step 1

First, we need to find the first-degree Taylor polynomial for f about x = 3. The formula for the first-degree Taylor polynomial is: $$ P_1(x) = f(3) + f'(3)(x - 3) $$ From the table, we know that f(3) = 12 and f'(3) = -21. So, $$ P_1(x) = 12 - 21(x - 3) $$ Show more…
