Provide an Appropriate Response Be a Quadratic Approximation To f(x)\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } )

Question 560

Essay

Provide an appropriate response.
-Let Q(x)=bO+b1(xa)+b2(xa)2\mathrm { Q } ( \mathrm { x } ) = \mathrm { b } _ { \mathrm { O } } + \mathrm { b } _ { 1 } ( \mathrm { x } - \mathrm { a } ) + \mathrm { b } _ { 2 } ( \mathrm { x } - \mathrm { a } ) ^ { 2 } be a quadratic approximation to f(x)\mathrm { f } ( \mathrm { x } ) at x=ax = a with the properties:
i. Q(a)=f(a)Q ( a ) = f ( a )
ii. Q(a)=f(a)Q ^ { \prime } ( a ) = f ^ { \prime } ( a )
iii. Q(a)=f(a)\mathrm { Q } ^ { \prime \prime } ( \mathrm { a } ) = \mathrm { f } ^ { \prime \prime } ( \mathrm { a } )
(a) Find the quadratic approximation to f(x)=14+xf ( x ) = \frac { 1 } { 4 + x } at x=0x = 0 .
