The following infinite series can be used to approximate ex

(a)Prove that this Maclaurin series expansion is a special case of the Taylor series expansion (Eq. 4.13) with xi = 0 and h = x.


(b)Use the Taylor series to estimate f(x) = e–x at xi+1 = 1 for xi = 0.2. Employ the zero-, first-, second-, and third- order versions and compute the |ɛt| for each case.
