Hi there!
Part D:
We can use the Taylor Polynomial expansion for a second-degree polynomial:
[tex]P_3(x) = g(c) + \frac{g'(c)}{1!}(x - c) + \frac{g''(c)}{2!}(x - c)^2[/tex]
Where c is the value that the polynomial is centered about.
We are given that:
[tex]g(c) = 1\\\\g'(c) = 0\\\\g''(x) = 2[/tex]
Therefore:
[tex]P_3(x) = 1 + \frac{0}{1}(x - 2) + \frac{2}{2!}(x - 2)^2\\\\\boxed{P_3(x) = 1 + (x - 2)^2}[/tex]
