Question
Consider the error in using the approximation sin on the interval [1, 1]. (a) Reasoning informally, say where the approximation is an overestimate and where it is an underestimate. (b) Use Theorem 10.1 to bound the error. Check your answer graphically on a computer or calculator.
Solution
The first step in solving 10.4 problem number 13 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: Consider the error in using the approximation sin on the interval [1, 1]. (a) Reasoning informally, say where the approximation is an overestimate and where it is an underestimate. (b) Use Theorem 10.1 to bound the error. Check your answer graphically on a computer or calculator.
From the textbook chapter THE ERROR IN TAYLOR POLYNOMIAL APPROXIMATIONS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
