e^{-x} \approx 1 - x

is a classic approximation, true for small x.

The next term in the polynomial expansion will be +kx^2 where k is a positive number. So our estimate 1-x is definitely an underestimate on both sides of x=0.

Since for negative xs the exponential rises exponentially and the line only linearly, the exponential exceeds the line for all negative x. For positive x, the line quickly goes negative while the exponential is always positive.

So, there's no interval for which our approximation is an overestimate.

8090 [49]
“Square five times a number” with “a number” being x is the same as saying:

5x²

“three more than the number” is the same as saying:

3 + x

Therefore the sentence “When you square five times a number, you get three more than the number.” is the same as:

5x² = 3 + x

Hope this helps, have a great day! :)
