(a) Expand function ex into Tailor series about point x=0. (b) Consider these series truncated after the first two terms. Estimate the absolute error of this truncation as a function of x. (c) Consider the function evaluated at x=1, i.e. e = 2.71828. Evaluate the truncated series (as in (b)) at x=1. How does your error estimate from (b) compares to the actual error?
