Show that if \(x>0\) and if \(n>2 x\), then
$$
\left|e^{x}-\left(1+\frac{x}{1 !}+\cdots+\frac{x^{n}}{n
!}\right)\right|<\frac{2 x^{n+1}}{(n+1) !}
$$
Use this formula to show that \(2 \frac{2}{3}
Evaluate \(L^{\prime}(1)\) by using the sequence \((1+1 / n)\) and the fact that \(e=\lim \left((1+1 / n)^{n}\right)\).
Let \(\left\\{r_{1}, r_{2}, \cdots, r_{n} \cdots\right\\}\) be an enumeration of the rational numbers in \(I:=[0,1]\), and let \(f_{n}\) : \(I \rightarrow \mathbb{R}\) be defined to be 1 if \(x=r_{1}, \cdots, r_{n}\) and equal to 0 otherwise. Show that \(f_{n}\) is Riemann integrable for each \(n \in \mathbb{N}\), that \(f_{1}(x) \leq f_{2}(x) \leq \cdots \leq f_{n}(x) \leq \cdots\) and that \(f(x):=\lim \left(f_{n}(x)\right)\) is the Dirichlet function, which is not Riemann integrable on \([0,1]\).
Calculate \(\cos (.2), \sin (.2)\) and \(\cos 1, \sin 1\) correct to four decimal places.
Calculate \(e\) correct to 5 decimal places.
