Partial Derivatives & the Gradient · Hard problem

Let f(x,y)=excos⁡yf(x,y) = e^{x}\cos y. The linear approximation at (0,0)(0,0) estimates f(0.2,0.1)f(0.2,0.1) with some error. Using the quadratic (second-order) Taylor correction term, find the SIZE of that correction (i.e. 12(fxx dx2+2fxy dx dy+fyy dy2)\tfrac12\big(f_{xx}\,dx^2+2f_{xy}\,dx\,dy+f_{yy}\,dy^2\big) at dx=0.2, dy=0.1dx=0.2,\ dy=0.1). Give an exact answer as a decimal.
