Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose we have a quadratic function f(x) in the following format:

$f(x) = ax^{2} + bx + c, a \neq 0$

The constant is the value of c.

Also, another way to find the constant is calculating f(0).

In this problem, we have that:

$f(x) = 8x^{2} - 7x + 6$

$a = 8, b = -7, c = 6$

The constant is c = 6.

Also

$f(0) = 8*(0)^{2} - 7*(0) + 6 = 6$

So the correct answer is:

Find quadratic polynomial which best fits the function f(x)=e^x and x=0, in the sense that g(0)= f(0), and g'(0) = f'(0), and g"

Dmitriy789 [7]

Let $g(x)=ax^2+bx+c$ . Then

$\begin{cases}g(0)=c\\g'(0)=b\\g''(0)=2a\end{cases}$

Meanwhile, since $f(x)=e^x$ , you have $f(0)=f'(0)=f''(0)=e^0=1$ .

It follows that $a=\dfrac12$ , $b=1$ , and $c=1$ , so that the quadratic fit for $f(x)=e^x$ that satisfies the given points is

$g(x)=\dfrac12x^2+x+1$

Note that this is just the second-order Taylor polynomial for $e^x$ about $x=0$ .
