Fun calculus Q
I'm only in 8th grade! :(
Don't know anything about calculus, sorry mate....
Sorry! Didn't know you didn't want me to comment!
Okay, so we have the taylor series at \(0\).

\[ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}f^{(n)}(0)\frac{x^n}{n!} \]
Ok thanks...@confluxepic !
Also known as the Maclaurin series.
We have \(f^{n}(0) = 10^{-n}\)
\[ f(x) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}f^{(n)}(0)\frac{x^n}{n!} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{1}{10^n}\frac{x^n}{n!} = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(x/10)^n}{n!} \]
Let \(y=x/10\): \[ \sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{(x/10)^n}{n!} =\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}\frac{y^n}{n!} = e^y=e^{x/10} \]
Sure enough: \[ f(0) = e^{0/10}=e^0=1 \]And \[ f'(0) = \frac{1}{10}e^{x/10}\Bigg|^{x=0} = \frac 1{10} = 0.1 \]
