2223-1 Assignment 4 at KE17503

The document provides instructions for submitting Assignment 4, which involves developing a C program to estimate an exponential function using Maclaurin series. Students must submit both a hardcopy and softcopy of the assignment by December 30th, with the hardcopy submitted in class and the softcopy uploaded to Gradescope. The assignment is worth 10 marks and involves: (1) sketching a flowchart for the program (2 marks), (2) developing the program to compute the series and testing it with sample inputs (5 marks), and (3) discussing challenges and solutions in developing the program (3 marks). Rubrics are provided to evaluate each part.

Assignment 4 (10 marks)


Develop a program in C to estimate the value of an exponential function, 𝑒 𝑥 using Maclaurin series, as
shown in equation below:

𝑥𝑛 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17
𝑒 𝑥 = ∑∞
𝑛=0 ( 𝑛! ) = + + + + + + + +⋯
0! 1! 2! 3! 4! 5! 6! 7!

a. Sketch the flowchart for the program.


(2 marks)

b. Formulate a Maclaurin series to estimate an exponential value using the concept of user-defined
function. Test the developed program with at least 5 sets of inputs, and compare the results with
manual calculations. How many terms are needed so that the estimated result from the series equals
to the result from the 𝑒𝑥𝑝(𝑥) library function up to 6th decimal place.
(5 marks)

c. Discuss the challenges in developing the program. How to overcome the challenges?
(3 marks)
