Question: Let f ( x ) = 1 2 x 2 . ( a ) ( 1 0 points ) Use a second degree Taylor polynomial

Let f(x)=12x2
.
(a)(10 points) Use a second degree Taylor polynomial for f(x)
to estimate (116.12)
(b)(5 points) Use the Lagrange Error Bound formula to find an upper bound for the difference between the actual value of (1162)
and your estimate from part (a).
(c)(5 points) Use a calculator to give a precise value of the error in your estimate from part (a). How does this answer compare with your answer from (b)
