[[File:E^x with linear approximation.png|thumb|Graph of <math>f(x) = e^x</math> (blue) with its linear approximation <math>P_1(x) = 1 + x</math> (red) at a = 0. The approximation error, visually represented as the vertical gap between the two curves, demonstrably increases for values of x that are positioned further from the point of approximation, which in this case is x = 0.]]
