Consider the given information.
a) Here, we have to calculate the cubic Taylor polynomial for f(x)=x13 at x=1
f(x)=n=0f(n)(a)n!(xa)n
The quadratic polynomial is defined as,
f(x)=f(a)+f(a)n!(xa)+f2!(xa)2
Now, find the derivative of the function at x=1
f(1)=1
f(x)=13x23
f(1)=13
And,
f(x)=29x53
f(1)=29
Substitute the values and find the quadratic polynomial.
f(x)=1+13(x1)19(x1)2
=19(x1)2+13(x1)+1
Now, find the third derivative.
f3(x)=1027x83
f3(1)=1027
The cubic polynomial is defined as,
f(x)=f(a)+f(a)n!(xa)+f(a)2!(xa)2+f3(a)3!(xa)3
Put the values in the polynomial.
f(x)=1+13(x1)19(x1)2+581(x1)3
=
