math: fix inaccurate result of Exp(1)

Browse Source 
The existing implementation is translated from C, which uses a
polynomial coefficient very close to 1/6. If the function uses
1/6 as this coeffient, the result of Exp(1) will be more accurate.
And this change doesn't introduce more error to Exp function.

Fixes #20319
