It's better to write the full question here rather than linking to an image. Also, you'll get a better response if you explain what you've tried. – littleO Dec 03 '18 at 02:43

$$ f(x) = \frac{1}{ \sqrt{ 2 \pi \sigma }} \exp \bigg( - \frac{ (x - \mu )^2 }{2 \sigma^2 } \bigg)$$
Since $e^x \approx 1+x $
the Quadratic approximation must be
$$ Q(x) = K \bigg(1 - \frac{ (x - \mu )^2 }{2 \sigma^2} \bigg)$$ Only valid for $|x - \mu | < \sqrt2 \sigma $
$K$ is a normalization constant that you can calculate by making the requirement
$$ \int _{\mu- \sqrt2 \sigma} ^{\mu-+\sqrt2 \sigma} Q(x)dx = 1$$
