Problem 38 Medium Difficulty

Find the Taylor polynomial of degree $n$ centered at the number $a$.
$f(x)=\sqrt{x}, \quad n=2, \quad a=4$

Answer

$T_{2}(x)=f(a)+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)+f^{\prime \prime}(a) \frac{(x-a)^{2}}{2 !}=2+\frac{1}{4}(x-4)-\frac{1}{64}(x-4)^{2}$

in this problem Where asked you approximated function spirit of banks using Taylor's old Army look degree to Iran point for So to do that, he needs fucking itself. Be also meet the first everything off the function and the second So our function is screwed Effects and facility off dysfunction is won'th over two square root of X And the second day with this native wall or for and now, uh, justice that point for we're gonna evil age f f permanent from that point so before is too. The primary four is one of four and a double primer for asking toward 0 32 and the A perforation using Taylor Whole new look to go to the dysfunction will be at four waas Primer for what? But X minus four plus double primer for about sleight by X minus four. Squared over to the authorities. So let's play, you know, then, um, before it's ju we have one for X minus four and then we, uh, worn over 32 x months or squared over two or chairs Jew waas or four off exploring for minus one over 64 x ones or squared over two
