See the explanation for the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given function:

The n-th order Taylor polynomial for function f with its center at a is:

As n = 3  So,

= 3 + 0.0092592593 (x - 81) + 1/2 ( - 0.000085733882) (x - 81)² + 1/6  

                                                                                  (0.0000018522752) (x-81)³

 =  0.0092592593 x - 0.000042866941 (x - 81)² + 0.00000030871254

                                                                                                       (x-81)³ + 2.25

Hence approximation at given quantity i.e.

x = 94

Putting x = 94

 =  0.0092592593 (94) - 0.000042866941 (94 - 81)² +          

                                                                 0.00000030871254 (94-81)³ + 2.25

         = 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (13)² + 0.00000030871254(13)³ +    

                                                                                                                       2.25

         = 0.87037 03742 - 0.000042866941 (169) +  

                                                                      0.00000030871254(2197) + 2.25

         = 0.87037 03742 - 0.007244513029 + 0.0006782414503 + 2.25

 = 3.113804102621

Compute the absolute error in the approximation assuming the exact value is given by a calculator.

Compute as using calculator

Exact value:

(94) = 3.113737258478

Compute absolute error:

Err = | 3.113804102621 - 3.113737258478 |

Err (94)  = 0.000066844143

If you round off the values then you get error as:

|3.11380 - 3.113737| = 0.000063

Err (94)  = 0.000063

If you round off the values up to 4 decimal places then you get error as:

|3.1138 - 3.1137| = 0.0001

Err (94)  = 0.0001

x = 25/2304
