Answer:
If you center the series at x=1
Where 
is the error.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the information given we know that
(This comes from the chain rule )
(This comes from the chain rule and the product rule)
(This comes from the chain rule and the product rule)
If you center the series at x=1 then
Where is the error.
Set up a proportion
EA / EB = ED/ EC
16 / (5x + 2 + 16) = 12 / (12 + 24)
16/(5x + 18) = 12 / 36 Cross multiply
16 * 36 = (4x + 18)*12 Remove the brackets
576 = 48x + 216 Subtract 216 from both sides.
360 = 48x Divide by 48
360/48 = x
7.5 = x
To divide rational numbers, you turn the division problem into a multiplication problem by flipping the second rational number. Then you go ahead and multiply the tops and bottoms together to get your answer. If you can simplify your problem before multiplication, you can go ahead and do so to make your problem easier.
Since you have to distribute both numbers, you'll end up with x^2-3x+4x-12 then simplify and it is x^2+x-12
