a. Derive the linear approximation e x 1 + x at x = 0. b. Estimate

Question:

a. Derive the linear approximation ex ≈ 1 + x at x = 0.

b. Estimate to five decimal places the magnitude of the error involved in replacing ex by 1 + x on the interval [0, 0.2].

c. Graph ex and 1 + x together for -2 ≤ x ≤ 2. Use different colors, if available. On what intervals does the approximation appear to overestimate ex? Underestimate ex?
