Question

Taylor series expansion of f(x)=x03t22dt0 around x=0 has the form
f(x)=a0+a1x+a2x2+...
The coefficient a2 (correct to two decimal places) in equal to
  1. 0

Solution

The correct option is A 0
f(x)=x0e(t22)dt
Then f′′(x)=ex22
and f′′(x)=xex22
Taylor series exp of f(x) about x=0 is
f(x)=f(0)+xf(0)+x22!f′′(0)+......
Hence on comparison ,
a2=f′′(0)2!=02!=0
