Question

So, just wondering about terminology in this question: Compute the nth taylor polynomial at 0 for the exponential function.

"Exponential function"-Does that mean \(e^x\)? I've never heard that terminology before.

Answer 1

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

ok thanks!

Answer 4

although sometimes it is written \(\exp(x)\)

Answer 5

ah, ok that I have seen, but never exponential function

Answer 6

quick follow up, I got \(P_n(x)=1+x+\frac{x^2}{2}+\frac{x^3}{3!}+...+\frac{x^n}{n!}\). It seems too simple, did I do something wrong?

Answer 7

@satellite73, when you come back
