29. The ( n + 1) derivative of f ( x) = e x is e x . The maximum value of f n +1( x) on the interval [0, 2] is e 2 < 8.

So the nth remainder is bounded by

(n + 1)!

Rn ≤ (1).
( + 1)!

When n = 7, = 1.98 × 10 −4 ≈ 0.000198 < 0.001, so n = 7 will approximate e x with an error

less than 0.001 in [0, 2].

30. The ( n + 1) derivative of f ( x ) = 1 x is

f (n + 1) ( x) =

.
xn + 2

The maximum value of f (n +1) ( x) in the interval [1, 3 2] is f (n + 1) (1) = ( n + 1)!.

Therefore, the nth remainder is bounded by

When n = 9, 1 210 ≈ 0.00098 < 0.001, so n = 9 will approximate 1 x with an error less than 0.001 in [1, 3 2].

To minimize the time, set dT dx equal to zero and solve for x. This produces the equation
7 x 4 − 42 x3 + 43x 2 + 216 x − 324 = 0.
Let f ( x) = 7 x 4 − 42 x3 + 43 x 2 + 216 x − 324. Then f ′( x) = 28 x3 − 126 x 2 + 86 x + 216.
Because f (1) = −100 and f ( 2) = 56, the solution is in the interval (1, 2).

Let f ( x) = 0.0002 x3 + 0.02 x 2 − 800. Then f ′( x) = 0.0006 x 2 + 0.04 x.
Because f (130) = −22.6 and f (132) = 8.4736, the solution is in the interval (130, 132).
