I need to find the Polynomial with the degree n that has the properties listed in the picture.
Thanks for your time!

  1. Ask your question and show the work you've done so far. If you've posted a screenshot of a question, specify which part you need help with.
  2. Wait patiently for a helper to come along.
  3. Once someone helps you, say thank you and close the thread with:

  4. Feel free to nominate the person for helper of the week in #helper-nominations
  5. Do not ping the mods, unless someone is breaking the rules.
  6. If you're happy with the help you got here, and the server overall, you can contribute financially as well:

So is that the polynomial such that for a particular point a, it satisfies those conditions?

Well use Taylor ‘s formula for polynomials or if you don’t know it it’s simply an application of the formula of the coefficients for Taylor series

#

$f(x)=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n (x-a)^{n}$

Whats $a_n$ for any n?

I have an example for a particular case:

But for n the professor recommended using Taylor Series. But... don't have any Idea.

@sleek vine maybe the general case is too general if P is a polynomial then you can write $P(x)=\sum_{k=0}^{n} a_k (x-a)^{k}$ and you can actually find each $a_k$

With respect to the successive derivatives of P at a
