Answer

$$T_3(x) =1+\frac{1}{2} x^{2}-\frac{1}{6} x^{3}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x) =x+e^{-x},\ \ a=0$$ Since \begin{align*} f(x) &=x+e^{-x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f(0) =1\\ f'(x) &=1-e^{-x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f'(0 )=0\\ f''(x) &=e^{-x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f''(0 )=1\\ f'''(x) &=-e^{-x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f''(0 )=-1 \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} T_3(x)&= \sum_{n=0}^{3}\frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}(x )^n\\ & =\frac{1}{0 !}+\frac{0}{1 !} x+\frac{1}{2 !} x^{2}-\frac{1}{3 !} x^{3}\\ &=1+\frac{1}{2} x^{2}-\frac{1}{6} x^{3} \end{align*}
