It is given that \(\ln y=\sqrt{1+8 e ^{x}}\).
(i) Show that \((\ln y) \frac{ d y}{ d x}=4 y e ^{x}\).
[1]
(ii) Show that the value of \(\frac{ d ^{2} y}{ d x^{2}}\) when \(x=0\) is \(\frac{68}{27} e ^{x}\).
[4]
(iii) Hence find the Maclaurin series for \(e ^{\sqrt{1+8 e ^{x}}}\) up to and including the term in \(x^{2}\).
[2]
(iv) Denoting the answer found in part (iii) as \(g (x)\), find the set of values of \(x\) for which \(g (x)\) is within \(\pm 0.5\) of the value of \(e ^{\sqrt{1+8 e ^{2}}}\).
[3]
(iii) $\mathrm{e}^3\left(1+\frac{4}{3} x+\frac{34}{27} x^2\right)+\ldots$
(iv) $x \in(-0.317,0.279)$ (3 s.f.)
