2. In this problem we make our own exponential function. Create a Matlab function whose prototype is: y = myExp (x) where the input x is a floating point number and the output y is the floating point approximation to y = e. In writing this function you are only allowed to use the operations of arithmetic (+ x +), absolute value (1-1) and any programming control statements you need. Your function should be accurate to 8 significant digits. (a) How have you computed e*? (b) How have you insured the desired accuracy? (e) How did you test your function? (d) In theory, what is the largest value of x your function will take without an overflow error? Explain.

For all MATLAB programs you must include MATLAB code and the output from the program

*PLEASE SOLVE USING PYTHON* You are a nasa engineer who needs to monitor the situation every time a probe uses its thrusters. For a given day you are given the planned times when the thruster will be used.  You need to be monitoring the situation at those boost times and for 5 minutes after. You want to figure out if you can take a break for a certain number of minutes.  To achieve this you are given the planned boost times in in hours and minutes with an am/pm. And you are given a desired break time in minutes. Output if you can take the break or not given the monitoring you have to do. For example: If you know the thruster is fired at 5:00am and 12:50pm. You need to be monitoring the situation from 5:00am to 5:05am and again from 12:50pm to 12:55pm. Apart from those times you are free to take a break. So a 5 minute break is possible. But a 12 hour break is not possible.
