question 117

Multiple Choice

Find the third degree Taylor polynomial centered at c = 4 for the function. $f ( x ) = \sqrt { x }$

• A) \(2 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( x - 4 ) - \frac { 1 } { 64 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 512 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 3 }\)
• B) \(2 - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( x - 4 ) + \frac { 1 } { 64 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 512 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 3 }\)
• C) \(2 - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( x - 4 ) - \frac { 1 } { 64 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 512 } ( x - 4 ) ^ { 3 }\)
• D) \(2 + \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( x + 4 ) - \frac { 1 } { 64 } ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 } + \frac { 1 } { 512 } ( x + 4 ) ^ { 3 }\)
• E) \(2 - \frac { 1 } { 4 } ( x + 4 ) + \frac { 1 } { 64 } ( x + 4 ) ^ { 2 } - \frac { 1 } { 512 } ( x + 4 ) ^ { 3 }\)
