Polynomial Approximation of the Exponential Function

The graph shows plots of dashed line and for various values of It is interesting that for positive values of the latter expression is a polynomial that converges from below to the blue and violet lines are the polynomials For negative values of the expression is the reciprocal of a polynomial that converges to from above the green yellow and orange curves are the reciprocals of polynomials
