Textbook Question

Chapter 10.4, Problem 54E

There are different ways to approximate a function f by polynomials. If, for example, f(a), f′(a), and fʺ(a) are known, then we can construct the second-degree Taylor polynomial p₂(x) at a for f(x); p₂(x) and f(x) will have the same value at a and the same first and second derivatives at a. If on the other hand, f(x₁), f(x₂), and f(x₃) are known, then we can compute the quadratic regression polynomial q₂(x) for the points (x₁, f(x₁)), (x₂, f(x₂)), (x₃, f(x₃)); q₂(x) and f(x) will have the same values at x₁, x₂, x₃. Problems 53 and 54 concern these contrasting methods of approximation by polynomials.

54. (A) Find the fourth-degree Taylor polynomial p₄(x) 0 for f(x) = ln (l + x), and use a graphing calculator to compute the quartic regression polynomial q₄(x) for the points (0, ln 1),

( − 1 2 , ln ( 1 − 1 2 ) ) , ( − 3 4 , ln ( 1 − 3 4 ) ) , ( − 7 8 , ln ( 1 − 7 8 ) ) , ( − 15 16 , ln ( 1 − 15 16 ) ) .

(B) Use graphical approximation techniques to find the maximum error for − 15 16 ≤ x ≤ 0 in approximating f(x) = ln(1 + x) by p₄(x) and by q₄(x).

∫ − 15 / 16 0 ln ( 1 + x ) d x ?

What is the domain, range, increasing intervals (theres 3), decreasing intervals, roots, y-intercepts, end behavior (approaches four times), leading coffiencent status (is it negative, positivie?) the degress status (zero, undifined etc ), the absolute max, is there a absolute minimum, relative minimum, relative maximum, the root is that has a multiplicity of 2, the multiplicity of 3.

What is the vertex, axis of symmerty, all of the solutions, all of the end behaviors, the increasing interval, the decreasing interval, describe all of the transformations that have occurred EXAMPLE Vertical shrink/compression (wider). or Vertical translation down, the domain and range of this graph EXAMPLE Domain: x ≤ -1 Range: y ≥ -4.

use a graphing utility to sketch the graph of the function and then use the graph to help identify or approximate the domain and range of the function. f(x)= x*sqrt(9-(x^2))
