#4, Error Problems
I'm stuck on 4. I can't find what the general form of the derivative is, and I can't set up the general term of the power series, so I can't continue on with the problem. Also, does anyone how to solve the error problems like 4c. The solutions mentioned the alternating series test, but I don't think we ever learned how to estimate error with alternate series. Anyone know what to do?

OK, look at page 477 in your textbook. The e^x follows a pattern of 1+x..., so plug in -2x^2 in x's place.For C, I found the Taylor series in the fourth degree and plugged in .6, which is 16(.6)^8/4!=.011 which is less than .02.
