Question

use a maclaurin polynomial to approximate the function sin(0.2) with an error less than 0.001.

Answer 1

Need to prepare MacLaurin series, set of derivatives and powers of x and estimate error from highest term used. See handbook?

Answer 2

could u show me an example i got confused a bit

Answer 3

f(x) = f(0) + (df/dx)(x) + (1/2)(d2f/dx2)(x)^2 + higher order terms, the last of which is approximately the error.

This is complicated and should not be an assignment unless it has been taught.

Answer 4

it was taught but got a bit of confuse and did not understand but now i get it
