Problem

Which of the following gives the Lagrange remainder when the fourth-degree Maclaurin polynomial is used to approximate exe^{x} at x=0.5x=0.5? (Here cc is a number between 00 and 0.50.5.) (a) ec (0.5)44!\dfrac{e^{c}\,(0.5)^{4}}{4!} (b) ec (0.5)55!\dfrac{e^{c}\,(0.5)^{5}}{5!} (c) e0.5 (0.5)55!\dfrac{e^{0.5}\,(0.5)^{5}}{5!} (d) ec (0.5)54!\dfrac{e^{c}\,(0.5)^{5}}{4!}
