In this video I approximate the cube root function x^(1/3) by using a 2nd degree Taylor polynomial at a = 8. The first step is to obtain the first 2 derivatives of f at x = 8, and then the third derivative to be used for the error estimation. [https://youtu.be/0616gOyjbyQ](https://youtu.be/0616gOyjbyQ)
