Question:

The data in Exercise 1 were generated using the following functions. Use the polynomials constructed in Exercise 1 for the given value of x to approximate f (x), and calculate the absolute error.
a. f (x) = x ln x; approximate f (8.4).
b. f (x) = sin(ex − 2); approximate f (0.9).
c. f (x) = x3 + 4.001x2 + 4.002x + 1.101; approximate f (−1/3).
d. f (x) = x cos x − 2x2 + 3x − 1; approximate f (0.25).
