Hi Dean
A Taylor series is an expansion in nonnegatve powers of (x-a). In the special case a=0 it is a Taylor series expansion in powers of z, which is also called a Maclauren series, which is what you have. So you can just call it a Taylor series.
I think they want you to come up with an e_s so that as you increase the number of terms in the Taylor series, once the the exact answer and the Taylor series answer agree with e_s, they also agree to four significant figures.
maclaurin is just taylor expansion around x = 0
thank you for making it clear to me
