Verified step by step guidance1
Step 1: Recall the formula for the Taylor polynomial of degree n centered at a. It is given by: t_n(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + f''(a)(x-a)^2/2! + f'''(a)(x-a)^3/3! + ... up to the nth derivative.
Step 2: Compute f(a) for the given function f(x) = 1/x at a = 2. Substitute x = 2 into f(x) to find f(2).
Step 3: Compute the first derivative f'(x) = -1/x^2 and evaluate f'(2). Substitute x = 2 into f'(x) to find f'(2). Multiply f'(2) by (x-2) to form the first-order term.
Step 4: Compute the second derivative f''(x) = 2/x^3 and evaluate f''(2). Substitute x = 2 into f''(x) to find f''(2). Multiply f''(2) by (x-2)^2/2! to form the second-order term.
Step 5: Compute the third derivative f'''(x) = -6/x^4 and evaluate f'''(2). Substitute x = 2 into f'''(x) to find f'''(2). Multiply f'''(2) by (x-2)^3/3! to form the third-order term. Combine all terms to construct t_3(x).
