Homework Statement
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.
Homework Equations
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.
