a . Explanation Given: The function is f ( x ) = tanh x , where x = 0.5 . Calculation: Result used: The n th-order Taylor polynomial centered at a is p n ( x ) = ∑ k = 0 n f k ( a ) k ! ( x − a ) k (1) Calculation: Obtain the Taylor polynomial with n = 3 . Substitute n = 3 and a = 0 in equation (1) then the third order Taylor polynomial is as follows, p 3 ( x ) = ∑ k = 0 3 f k ( 0 ) k ! ( x − 0 ) k = f ( 0 ) + f ′ ( 0 ) ( x − 0 ) + ( 1 2 ! ) f ″ ( a ) ( x − 0 ) 2 + ( 1 3 ! ) f ‴ ( 0 ) ( x − 0 ) 3 p 3 ( x ) = f ( 0 ) + f ′ ( 0 ) ( x ) + ( 1 2 ! ) f ″ ( 0 ) ( x ) 2 + ( 1 3 ! ) f ‴ ( 0 ) ( x ) 3 (1) The value of f ( x ) = tanh x and its derivatives at x = 0 is computed as follows, f ( x ) = tanh x f ( 0 ) = tanh ( 0 ) = 0 Thus, f ( 0 ) = 0 . f ′ ( 0 ) computed as follows, f ′ ( x ) = sech 2 ( x ) = 1 − tanh 2 ( x ) f ′ ( 0 ) = 1 − tanh 2 ( 0 ) = 1 − 0 Thus, f ′ ( 0 ) = 1 . f ′ ′ ( 0 ) computed as follows, f ′ ′ ( x ) = 2 tanh ( x ) ⋅ sech 2 ( x ) = ( 2 tanh ( x ) 2 ( tanh 2 ( x ) − 1 ) ) f ′ ′ ( 0 ) = ( 2 tanh ( 0 ) 2 ⋅ ( tanh 2 ( 0 ) − 1 ) ) = 2 ⋅ 0 ⋅ ( 0 − 1 ) Thus, f ′ ′ ( 0 ) = 0 b .

2. Graph the function f(x)=e* −1. Label three points on the graph (one should be the intercept) with corresponding ordered pairs (round to one decimal place) and label the asymptote with its equation. Write the domain and range of the function in interval notation. Make your graph big enough to see all important features. You may show the final graph only.
