Explanation Definition used: The n th degree Taylor polynomial for f at 0 is p n ( x ) = f ( 0 ) + f ′ ( 0 ) x + f ″ ( 0 ) 2 ! x 2 + … + f n ( 0 ) n ! x n = ∑ k = 0 n f k ( 0 ) k ! x k provided f has n derivatives at 0. Theorem used: Error Estimation for Alternating Series : “If x 0 is a number in the interval of convergence for f ( x ) = a 0 + a 1 x + a 2 x 2 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + a k x k + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ and the terms in the series f ( x 0 ) = a 0 + a 1 x 0 + a 2 x 0 2 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + a k x 0 k + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ are alternating in sign and decreasing in absolute value, then the error in the approximation f ( x 0 ) ≈ a 0 + a 1 x 0 + a 2 x 0 2 + ⋅ ⋅ ⋅ + a n x 0 n is strictly less than the absolute value of the next term. That is, | R n ( x 0 ) | < | a n + 1 x 0 n + 1 | ”. Calculation: The rate of a student’s progress t weeks after enrolling in a 15-week shorthand course id given by N ′ ( t ) = 6 e − 0.01 t 2 . At the beginning the average student can type 40 words per minute. Therefore, N ( 0 ) = 40 . The improvement after 5 weeks is given by ∫ N ′ ( t ) d t , where N is the number of words per minute. Use the Taylor series of e − x = 1 − x + 1 2 ! x 2 − 1 3 ! x 3 + ... ( − 1 ) n n ! x n + ..... to find N ′ ( t ) = 6 e − 0.01 t 2 as follows. 6 e − 0.01 t 2 = 6 [ 1 − ( 0

In a hospital, a drug is given to a patient. Let f(t) be the amount of drug (in mg) in the patient's body t minutes after it is administered. The nurses want to predict how the body will absorb the drug (the shape of the graph y = f(t)) to be able to prepare the next course of action. One of them remembers about Taylor polynomials from their Calculus course and explains that they allow to predict the shape of a function by making very accurate measurements of the function at one point. They decide to do this and they find the following details about the patient's absorption of the drug: • f(15) = 140 • f'(15) = -10 • f" (15) = 12 1 000 Use these details to approximate the average amount of drug in the patient's body over the first 2 hours: 120 1 f(e) dt 120 Important: Remember that the measurements were made at t = 15 minutes.

A common inhabitant of human intestines is the bacterium Escherichia coli, named after the German pediatrician Theodor Escherich, who identified it in 1885. A cell of this bacterium in a nutrient-broth medium divides into two cells every 20 minutes. The initial population of a culture is 50 cells.
