Approximating sin x Let ƒ(x) = sin x, and let pn and qn be nth-order Taylor polynomials for ƒ centered at 0 and p, respectively.
a. Find p5 and q5.
b. Graph ƒ, p5, and q5 on the interval [-π, 2π]. On what interval is p5 a better approximation to ƒ than q5? On what interval is q5 a better approximation to ƒ than p5?
c. Complete the following table showing the errors in the approximations given by p5 and q5 at selected points.
d. At which points in the table is p5 a better approximation to ƒ than q5? At which points do p5 and q5 give equal approximations to ƒ? Explain your observations.
