## Abstract

We have obtained a single Chebyshev expansion of the function $f(x) = (1 + 2x)\exp(x^2)\operatorname{erfc} x$ in $0 \leqslant x < \infty$, accurate to 22 decimal digits. The presence of the factors $(1 + 2x)\exp(x^2)$ causes $f(x)$ to be of order unity throughout this range, ensuring that the use of $f(x)$ for approximating $\operatorname{erfc} x$ will give uniform relative accuracy for all values of $x$.
