When x < 0, the series for e x is an alternating series. Use the Alternating Series

Question:

When x < 0, the series for ex is an alternating series. Use the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem to estimate the error that results from replacing ex by 1 + x + (x2/2) when -0.1 < x < 0. Compare your estimate with the one you obtained in Exercise 41.


Data from in Exercise 41.

The approximation ex = 1 + x + (x2/2) is used when x is small. Use the Remainder Estimation Theorem to estimate the error when |x| < 0.1.
