Estimate the value

I can think of quite a few ways to do that. Care to narrow it down for me a bit?
 
Assuming your subject line refers to the contents of your post (and subject lines frequently don't, so I apologize if that assumption is incorrect), what technique(s) are you supposed to use in doing your estimation of the value of e<sup>0.2</sup>?

Hello, mlj2005!

Estimate the value: e<sup>0.2</sup>
Are you expected to use Infinite Series?

You can use: . e<sup>x</sup> . = . 1 + x + x<sup>2</sup>/2! + x<sup>3</sup>/3! + x<sup>4</sup>/4! + . . . + x<sup>n</sup>/n! + . . .


With n = 6, we already have: 1.221402756...
. . while e<sup>0.2</sup> = 1.221402758...
 
Yes, Thank you. Sorry for being so general. When I started I substituted the X with 0.2 .

example: 1+.2+.2^2/2! +.2^3/3!
