1. [10 points] Find the 4th order Taylor approximation of 2
at x = 3.
x
Write down the n-th term of the n-th order Taylor approximation of this function. [Hint. From the 4th
order approximation you should be able to find a pattern for the coefficients.]
2. [10 points] Consider the function . It has a root between -3 and 4. Why? Show
3 iterations of the false position method to find the root of the function.
