Let $f(x) = 2x^3+7x^2+x-6 and a=2$
$∴f’(x) = 6x^2 + 14x +1 , f’’(x) = 12x +14, f’’’(x) = 12$
$∴f(2) = 45 , f’(2) = 53, f’’(2) = 38, f’’’(2) = 12.$
Now , $f(x) = f(a) + f(x-a)f’(a) + \frac{(x-a)^2}{2!}f’’(a) +……$………………
$∴ f(x) = f(2) + (x-2)f’(2) + \frac{(x-2)^2}{2!}f’’(2) +………………..$
$2x^3+7x^2+x-6 = 45 + (x-2){.53} + (x-2)^{2.19} + (x-2)^{3.2}$
