(2) Consider the following function: (a) Using a Taylor polynomial of degree three (i.e. up to the term z3, included) and centred at Zo = 1, evaluate V2 correct to the fifth significant digit. (b) Co...
Consider the function f(x) := v/x= x1/2. 6. (a) Give the Taylor polynomial P(x) of degree 5 about a1 of this function (b) Give the nested representation of the polynomial Qs()Ps((t)) where t -1 ((t)+1). (c) Using the nested multiplication method (also called Horner's algorithm), compute the approximation Ps (1.2) to V (give at least 12 significant digits of P(1.2)) (d) Without using the exact value of 12, compute by hand an upper bound on the absolute error V1.2 A(1.21...
