In the general Taylor polynomial Pn(x)=k=0∑nck(x−a)k, what does the integer n represent?
(a) n is the total number of terms in the polynomial Pn(x).
(b) n is the highest exponent of (x−a) that appears in the polynomial.
(c) n is the number of nonzero coefficients ck.
(d) n is the value of the center a.
