Let Tn(x)T_n(x) be the nnth-degree Maclaurin polynomial for e2xe^{2x}. For all xx in [−0.2,0.2][-0.2,0.2], what is the least integer nn that guarantees the relative error ∣e2x−Tn(x)e2x∣\displaystyle \bigl|\tfrac{e^{2x}-T_n(x)}{e^{2x}}\bigr| is less than 1×10−41\times10^{-4}? (a) n=3n=3 (b) n=5n=5 (c) n=4n=4 (d) n=7n=7
