a . Explanation Given: The function f ( x ) = sin x , a = π 4 . Result used: The n th-order Taylor polynomial centered at a is shown below, p n ( x ) = f ( a ) + f ′ ( a ) ( x − a ) + f ″ ( a ) 2 ! ( x − a ) 2 + ⋯ + f n ( a ) n ! ( x − a ) n (1) Calculation: The n th-order Taylor polynomial centered at π 4 is shown below, p 2 ( x ) = f ( π 4 ) + f ′ ( π 4 ) ( x − π 4 ) + ⋯ + f n ( π 4 ) n ! ( x − π 4 ) n (2) Substitute π 4 for x in f ( x ) = sin x , f ( x ) = sin ( π 4 ) = 2 2 That is, f ( π 4 ) = 2 2 . The first derivative of f ( x ) = sin x is computed as follows, f ′ ( x ) = cos x Substitute π 4 for x , f ′ ( π 4 ) = cos ( π 4 ) = 2 2 That is, f ′ ( π 4 ) = 2 2 . The second derivative of f ( x ) = sin x is computed as follows, f ″ ( x ) = − sin x Substitute π 4 for x , f ″ ( π 4 ) = − sin ( π 4 ) = − 2 2 That is, f ″ ( π 4 ) = 2 2 . The Taylor polynomial centered at π 4 for n = 0 , 1 and 2 is obtained as follows, p 0 ( x ) = f ( a ) = f ( π 2 ) = 2 2 Thus, the Taylor polynomial centered at π 4 for n = 0 is p 0 ( x ) = 2 2 b.
