Solve the problem.
-The downward velocity of a skydiver approaches a maximum value because of air resistance. The skydiver's velocity (in meters per second) can be modeled by the function where t is the time seconds after jumping. Use the second-degree Taylor polynomial for v(t) at t = 0 to approximate
The distance fallen after 5 seconds.
