Homework SourseUse the linear approximating polynomial 1x to estimate e03 U
Use the linear approximating polynomial, (1-x), to estimate e^-0.3
Use the quadratic approximating polynomial, (1-x+(1/2)x^2), to estimate e^-0.3
Use the quadratic approximating polynomial, (1-x+(1/2)x^2), to estimate e^-0.3
Solution
e^-x = 1-x
e^-0.3 = 1-0.3 = 0.7
1 - x + x^2/2 = e^-x
e^-0.3 = 1-0.3 + 0.3^2/2 = 0.745
