Explanation Given information: Instruction to describe the n th Taylor polynomial of f ( x ) at x = a . Explanation: To approximate given function f ( x ) by a polynomial for values of x near some number a . Since the behavior of f ( x ) near x = a is determined by the values of f ( x ) and its derivative at x = a . To approximate f ( x ) by a polynomial p ( x ) for which the values of p ( x ) and its derivative at x = a are the same as those of f ( x ) . It can be done if the polynomial is of the form p ( x ) = a 0 + a 1 ( x − a ) + a 1 ( x − a ) 2 + . . . + a n ( x − a ) n , which is the polynomial in x − a . Where a 0 , a 1 , a 2 . . . a n are given numbers and a n ≠ 0 . It is easy to compute, and so on, because setting x = a in p ( x ) or one of its derivative makes most of the terms equal to zero. The following result yield, The n th Taylor polynomial of f ( x ) at x = a is the polynomial p n ( x ) is defined by, p n ( x ) = f ( a ) + f ' ( a ) 1 ! ( x − a ) + f " ( a ) 2 ! ( x − a ) 2 +
