1. (1 points) Estimate mathematical constant e

(a) Write a program that estimates the value of the mathematical constant e,
using the formula:
1 1 1
e = 1+ + + +L
1! 2! 3!

Display the e value using 3 terms, 4 termsetc.

Your test cases should demonstrate that: more terms are used, closer
the e-value to 2.71828182846

(b) Write a program that estimates the value of ex, using the formula:

ex =1 +

x x 2 x3 x 4

Write a program to calculate your GPA for the semester.
(1)

User input
User will enter following information for each class
(1) name of the class
(2) unit of this class
(3) the letter grade received
until user indicates to stop.

(2)

Calculate student GPA:

Grade A receives 4 points,

Point received from each class = Grade point * Units
Total points = The Sum of the Points from Each Class
GPA = (Total Points) / (Total Units)
For this example:
Total Points = 3 * 4 + 4 * 3 + 4 * 4 + 2 * 3 = 46
Total Units = 4 + 3 + 4 + 3 = 14
GPA = 42/13 = 3. 29

(3)

4. (3 points) Write functions to add, subtract, multiply and divide complex numbers.
Write a driver program uses a menu to allow user to choose the operation for
calculation.

(a + bi) + (c + di) = (a + c ) + (b + d )i
(a + bi) (c + di) = (a c) + (b d )i
(a + bi)(c + di) = (ac bd ) + (ad + bc)i
