3 . 7 Evaluate e - 3 using two approaches, e - x = 1 - x + x 2 2 - x 3 3

3.7 Evaluate e-3 using two approaches,
e-x=1-x+x22-x33!+cdots
and
e-x=1ex=11+x+x22+x33!+cdots
and compare with the true value of 6.73794710-3 Use 20 terms to evaluate each series and compute true and approximate relative errors as terms are added.
You will:
Create a Python file called A1_ task 3. py that:
a. Defines a Python function (or two) to approximate e-x using both approaches. Your function(s) should have at least two inputs: the value of x(which will equal 5 in this case) and the number of terms to use, n. In each of the approaches, '1' counts as the first term.
b. Uses the function(s) in part a. to solve the textbook problem.
c. Graphs the results (approximation value, true percent relative error, and approximate percent relative error (y-axis) as functions of the number of terms (x axis) used in the approximation). Plots need to have sufficient resolution on the axes.
By hand, calculate true and approximate relative error (expressed as percentages) for both approaches using 1,2, and 3 terms. Ensure your hand calculations match your Python results.
a. Show your work for credit.
b. Report true and approximate relative error (expressed as percentages) for both approaches in table form for the various number of terms (i.e.,1,2 and 3) used.
Answer the following question: Of these two approximation methods, which one would you consider more desirable and why? Please explain. Refer to figures as necessary when answering.
