Evaluate the following expressions at the given point. Use your calculator or your computer (such as Maple). Then use series expansions to find an approximation of the value of the expression to as many places as you trust.

a. \(\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+x^{3}}}-\cos x^{2}\) at \(x=0.015\).

b. \(\ln \sqrt{\frac{1+x}{1-x}}-\tan x\) at \(x=0.0015\).

c. \(f(x)=\frac{1}{\sqrt{1+2 x^{2}}}-1+x^{2}\) at \(x=5.00 \times 10^{-3}\).

d. \(f(R, h)=R-\sqrt{R^{2}+h^{2}}\) for \(R=1.374 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{~km}\) and \(h=1.00 \mathrm{~m}\).

e. \(f(x)=1-\frac{1}{\sqrt{1-x}}\) for \(x=2.5 \times 10^{-13}\).
