3. Suppose we want to approximate the value of e-5 by using the tangent line to the graph y = el at the point (0,1). Which of the following is the approximation we would get? a) .5 b) 1+.5 c) 1+.64 d) 1+e5 Explain your answer carefully, and include a sketch of the corresponding graph. 4. Suppose a sibling/cousin/friend of the family is curious about your experience with calculus. (She's taken high school algebra, but nothing further). (a) She asks, "What is calculus?” What do you tell her? Give an answer using several complete sentences. Be sure to use the key terms that show up in Calculus. (b) She then wonders, “Why did you need to take calculus for your (fill-in-the-blank) major?” What do you say? (Again, complete sentences, please. If your major doesn't require calc, or if you're undeclared, imagine that you're an econ or chem- istry major)
