The nth taylor polynomial for the given function is

P₄(x) = ln5 + 1/5 (x-5) - 1/25*2! (x-5)² + 2/125*3! (x-5)³ - 6/625*4! (x - 5)⁴

Given:

f(x) = ln(x)

n = 4

c = 3

nth Taylor polynomial for the function, centered at c

The Taylor series for f(x) = ln x centered at 5 is:

P_{n}(x)=f(c)+\frac{f^{'} (c)}{1!}(x-c)+  \frac{f^{''} (c)}{2!}(x-c)^{2} +\frac{f^{'''} (c)}{3!}(x-c)^{3}+.....+\frac{f^{n} (c)}{n!}(x-c)^{n}

Since, c = 5 so,

P_{4}(x)=f(5)+\frac{f^{'} (5)}{1!}(x-5)+  \frac{f^{''} (5)}{2!}(x-5)^{2} +\frac{f^{'''} (5)}{3!}(x-5)^{3}+.....+\frac{f^{n} (5)}{n!}(x-5)^{n}

Now

f(5) = ln 5

f'(x) = 1/x ⇒ f'(5) = 1/5

f''(x) = -1/x² ⇒ f''(5) = -1/5² = -1/25

f'''(x) = 2/x³  ⇒ f'''(5) = 2/5³ = 2/125

f''''(x) = -6/x⁴ ⇒ f (5) = -6/5⁴ = -6/625

So Taylor polynomial for n = 4 is:

P₄(x) = ln5 + 1/5 (x-5) - 1/25*2! (x-5)² + 2/125*3! (x-5)³ - 6/625*4! (x - 5)⁴

Hence,

The nth taylor polynomial for the given function is

P₄(x) = ln5 + 1/5 (x-5) - 1/25*2! (x-5)² + 2/125*3! (x-5)³ - 6/625*4! (x - 5)⁴

What is another way to write the expression t. (14--5) ?
melomori [17]

Answer: Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is important to remember the Distributive Property in order to solve this exercise.

The Distributive property states that:

a(b+c)=ab+ac\\\\\\a(b-c)=ab-ac

In this case you have the following expression provided in the exercise:

t(14-5)

Then, in order to write this expression in another way, you can apply the Distributive property. Multiply each number inside the parentheses by "t".

Applying this procedure, you get:

t(14-5)=(t14)-(t5)

Notice that this expression matches with the one shown in the the second option.
