(a) Find (b) Use your answer to part (a) to derive the approximation for near 0. (c) Use

Chapter 1, Problem 126

(choose chapter or problem)

Approximation

(a) Find \(\lim \limits_{x \rightarrow 0} \frac{1-\cos x}{x^{2}}\).

(b) Use your answer to part (a) to derive the approximation \(\cos x \approx 1-\frac{1}{2} x^{2}\) for x near 0.

(c) Use your answer to part (b) to approximate cos (0.1).

(d) Use a calculator to approximate cos (0.1)  to four decimal places. Compare the result with part (c).

Text Transcription:

lim_x rightarrow 0 1 - cos x / x^2

cos x approx 1 - 1/2 x^2
