    1. This memo discusses Taylor series expansions of several functions: - The Taylor series expansion of 1/(2+x^2) has a radius of convergence of √2. - The Taylor series expansions of 1/(1-x) and -ln|1-x| have a radius of convergence of 1. - Several Taylor series are equated and simplified. 2. The Taylor series expansion of the function f(x)=e^3-x is derived. - It is shown that the Taylor series expansion of f(x) about x=1 has an absolute error less than 1/24 * e^1.5 when 0.5 ≤ x ≤ 1.

    Since 𝑐 is between 1 and 𝑥, 𝑐 ∈ (0.5; 1.5), 0.5 < 𝑐 < 1.5


    ⟹ −1.5 < −𝑐 < −0.5 ⟹ 1.5 < 3 − 𝑐 < 2.5
