We estimate integrals using Taylor polynomials. Exercise 72 is used to estimate the error.

(a) Compute the sixth Maclaurin polynomial T6 for ƒ(x) = sin(x2) by substituting x2 in P(x) = x − x3/6, the third Maclaurin polynomial for ƒ(x) = sin x.

(b) Show that | sin(x2) − T6(x)| ≤|x|10/5!. Substitute xfor x in the Error Bound for |sin x − P(x)|, noting that P is also the fourth Maclaurin polynomial for ƒ(x) = sin x.

(c) Use Tto approximate ∫01/2 sin(x2) dx and find a bound for the error.


Data From Exercise 72

We estimate integrals using Taylor polynomials. 

Let L > 0. Show that if two functions ƒ and g satisfy |ƒ(x) − g(x)|

L'o  f(x) dx - * 8(x) dx/dx < L(b-a

L'o f(x) dx - * 8(x) dx[\dx < L(b-a
