Answer :

To complete the table, we need to determine the value of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] for each given [tex]\( x \)[/tex] according to the formula:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{x}\right)^x \][/tex]

We are given the values to fill in as follows:
- For [tex]\( x = 1 \)[/tex], [tex]\( y = 2 \)[/tex] (this is already provided).

Now let's determine the values of [tex]\( y \)[/tex] for other given [tex]\( x \)[/tex] values.

### When [tex]\( x = 10 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{10}\right)^{10} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y \approx 2.594 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( a \approx 2.594 \)[/tex].

### When [tex]\( x = 100 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{100}\right)^{100} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y \approx 2.705 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( b \approx 2.705 \)[/tex].

### When [tex]\( x = 10,000 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{10,000}\right)^{10,000} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y \approx 2.718 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( c \approx 2.718 \)[/tex].

### When [tex]\( x = 100,000 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{100,000}\right)^{100,000} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y \approx 2.718 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( d \approx 2.718 \)[/tex].

### When [tex]\( x = 1,000,000 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ y = \left(1 + \frac{1}{1,000,000}\right)^{1,000,000} \][/tex]
[tex]\[ y \approx 2.718 \][/tex]

So, [tex]\( e \approx 2.718 \)[/tex].

Filling these values into the table, we get:

[tex]\[ \begin{tabular}{|c|c|} \hline $x$ & $y$ \\ \hline 1 & 2 \\ \hline 10 & 2.594 \\ \hline 100 & 2.705 \\ \hline 10,000 & 2.718 \\ \hline 100,000 & 2.718 \\ \hline 1,000,000 & 2.718 \\ \hline \end{tabular} \][/tex]

Therefore:
- [tex]\( a \approx 2.594 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( b \approx 2.705 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( c \approx 2.718 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( d \approx 2.718 \)[/tex]
- [tex]\( e \approx 2.718 \)[/tex]
