Find : Taylor polynomial of degree 5 of the function fx= cosx at a=0 .
(You need to enter function.)
Find all values of x for which this approximation is within 0.000286 of the right answer. Assume for simplicity that we limit ourselves to abs(x)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor_polynomial#Proof_for_Taylor.27s_theorem_in_one_real_variable from this $$P(x) = f(0)+f'(0)x+f''(0)x^{2}+f'''(0)x^{3}+f^{4}(0)x^{4}+f^{5}(0) x^{5}$$
