Consider the following function. f(x) = 2/x, a = 1, n = 2, 0.6 ≤ x ≤ 1.4 (a) Approximate f by a Taylor polynomial with degree n
at the number a. T2(x) = 2−2(x−1)+(x−1)2 (b) Use Taylor's Inequality to estimate the accuracy of the approximation f(x) ≈ Tn(x) when x lies in the given interval. (Round your answer to eight decimal places.) |R2(x)| ≤
