Let f(x) = sin x and let p n and q n be nth order Taylor polynomials
Question:
Let f(x) = sin x and let pn and qn be nth order Taylor polynomials for f centered at 0 and π, respectively.
a. Find p5 and q5.
b. Graph f, p5, and q5 on the interval [-π, 2π]. On what interval is p5 a better approximation to f than q5? On what interval is q5 a better approximation to f 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 f than q5? At which points do p5 and q5 give comparable approximations to f ? Explain your observations.
