Find the equations of the tangent lines to the graph of f(x) = sin x at x

Question:

Find the equations of the tangent lines to the graph of f(x) = sin x at x = 0 and at x = π∕3. Use each tangent line to approximate sin(π∕6). Would you expect these results to be equally accurate, since they are taken equally far away from x = π∕6 but on opposite sides? If the accuracy is different, can you account for the difference?
