Consider the error in using the approximation e−x≈1−x on the interval [−1,1]. (a) reasoning informally, on what interval is this

approximation an overestimate? 1 an underestimate? (for each, give your answer as an interval or list of intervals,
e.g., to specify the intervals −0.25≤x<0.5 and 0.75

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.

Answer:

  • yes
  • 5 × (6 - 3) = (5 × 6) - (5 × 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The distributive property tells you the factor outside parentheses multiplies each of the terms inside parentheses.

The difference 6 -3 inside parentheses has two terms, and there is a factor of 5 outside those parentheses. The setup for the distributive property is there, so the distributive property can be used.

__

The outside factor multiplies each inside term. The sign can be left with the inside term, or can be placed between the products.

  5 × (6 - 3) = (5×6) - (5×3)

__

or

  5 × (6 - 3) = (5×6) +(5×(-3))
