Question 383950: The exponential function t = e^x is a special function that you will learn about later. It is not a polynomial function. However, for small values of x, the value of e^x is very closely approximated by the polynomial function e(x) = 1/6x^3 + 1/2x^2 + x + 1. Use synthetic substitution to determine e(0.1). Show your work.
Thank you!
