How do you calculate f''(1) and f'''(1) given #f(x)= 3- 6(x-1) + 4/(2!) (x-1)^2 - 5/(3!) (x-1)^3 + 1/(4!) (x-1)^4#?

To calculate ( f''(1) ) and ( f'''(1) ), we need to find the second and third derivatives of the function ( f(x) ), and then evaluate them at ( x = 1 ).
-
Find ( f'(x) ): [ f'(x) = -6 + 4 \cdot \frac{2!}{2!}(x - 1)^1 - 5 \cdot \frac{3!}{3!}(x - 1)^2 + 1 \cdot \frac{4!}{4!}(x - 1)^3 ] Simplify: [ f'(x) = -6 + 4(x - 1) - 5(x - 1)^2 + (x - 1)^3 ]
-
Find ( f''(x) ): [ f''(x) = 4 - 10(x - 1) + 3(x - 1)^2 ]
-
Find ( f'''(x) ): [ f'''(x) = -10 + 6(x - 1) ]
-
Evaluate at ( x = 1 ): [ f''(1) = 4 - 10(1 - 1) + 3(1 - 1)^2 = 4 ] [ f'''(1) = -10 + 6(1 - 1) = -10 ]
Therefore, ( f''(1) = 4 ) and ( f'''(1) = -10 ).

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
