Taylor polynomial application

mardi 29 octobre 2013

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



A car is moving with speed 10m/s and acceleration 1 m/s^2 at the given instant. Using a second-degree Taylor polynomial, estimate how far the car moves in the next second.



2. Relevant equations





3. The attempt at a solution

I don't get how you're supposed to apply taylor polynomials to this problem. I actually got the right answer, but that was from plugging in acceleration, velocity, and t=1 second into the physics equation d=(1/2)at^2+v(original)*t.
