Find the Taylor polynomial of degree 33 approximating the function 𝑓(𝑥)=𝑥 − 2𝑥 − 1fx=x - 2x - 1 near 𝑥=0

To find the Taylor polynomial of degree 33 approximating the function \( f(x) = x - 2x - 1 \) near \( x = 0 \), let's first clarify the function and its derivatives. 

It looks like the given function is written ambiguously. I interpret the function as:

\[
f(x) = x - 2x - 1 = -x - 1
\]

This simplifies to a linear function:

\[
f(x) = -x - 1
\]

### Taylor Polynomial of Degree 33:
The Taylor series for a function \( f(x) \) about \( x = 0 \) is given by:

\[
T_n(x) = f(0) + f'(0)x + \frac{f''(0)}{2!}x^2 + \cdots + \frac{f^{(n)}(0)}{n!}x^n
\]

Since the function \( f(x) = -x - 1 \) is linear, its higher-order derivatives (from the second derivative onward) will be zero.

1. \( f(x) = -x - 1 \)
2. First derivative: \( f'(x) = -1 \)
3. Second derivative: \( f''(x) = 0 \)
4. All higher-order derivatives: \( f^{(n)}(x) = 0 \) for \( n \geq 2 \)

### Now, we compute the Taylor polynomial:

1. \( f(0) = -(0) - 1 = -1 \)
2. \( f'(0) = -1 \)

Since all higher-order derivatives are zero, the Taylor polynomial of degree 33 (or any degree greater than 1) will just be a linear approximation:

\[
T_{33}(x) = -1 - x
\]

Thus, the Taylor polynomial of degree 33 for \( f(x) = -x - 1 \) near \( x = 0 \) is:

\[
T_{33}(x) = -x - 1
\]

For non-linear functions, the Taylor polynomial's accuracy improves with higher degrees, but for a linear function like \( -x - 1 \), it only requires a first-degree polynomial.
