Answer

$$ T_{3}(x) =x-2 x^{2}+2 x^{3}$$

Work Step by Step

Given $$f(x) =xe^{-2x},\ \ a=0$$ Since \begin{align*} f(x) &=xe^{-2x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ f(0) =0\\ f'(x) &=(1-2x)e^{-2x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ f'(0 )=1 \\ f''(x) &=4(x-1)e^{-2x}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ f''(0 )=-4\\ f'''(x) &=4(3-2x)e^{-2x}\ \ \ \ \ \ f'''(0 )=12 \end{align*} Then \begin{align*} T_{3}(x)&=\sum_{n=0}^{3} \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n !} x^{n}\\ &=\frac{0}{1} \cdot 1+\frac{1}{1} x^{1}+\frac{-4}{2} x^{2}+\frac{12}{6} x^{3}\\ &=x-2 x^{2}+2 x^{3} \end{align*}
