Example 1: Approximating Cube Root Function by a 2nd Degree Taylor Polynomial
In this video I approximate the cube root function x^(1/3) by using a 2nd degree Taylor polynomial at a = 8. The first step is to obtain the first 2 derivatives of f at x = 8, and then the third derivative to be used for the error estimation. Since the resulting Taylor approximation is not alternating, we can't use the alternating series estimation theorem but instead we can use Taylor's Inequality. For the interval between x = 7 and x = 9, the error is less than 0.0004, which is very accurate. Double checking our result using the Desmos graphing calculator shows that the error is even more accurate: less than 0.0003.
