 Using this linear approximation, approximate the value of $e$.
+
 \begin{hint}
-We have to express $e$ as $f(x)$, for some $x$.
-\end{hint}
-\begin{hint}
-It follows that $e=e^1=e^{2(\frac{1}{2})}=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$.
-\end{hint}
-\begin{hint}
-It follows that $e=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)\approx L(\frac{1}{2})$.
+Note that $e=e^1=e^{2(\frac{1}{2})}=f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$.
 \end{hint}

 \[
 e \approx \answer{2}.
