Question:

The theory of optics gives rise to the two Fresnel integrals

sin t² dt and C(x) cos t dt. S(x)

a. Compute S'(x) and C'(x).

b. Expand sin t2 and cos t2 in a Maclaurin series and then integrate to find the first four nonzero terms of the Maclaurin series for S and C.

c. Use the polynomials in part (b) to approximate S(0.05) and C(-0.25).

d. How many terms of the Maclaurin series are required to approximate S(0.05) with an error no greater than 10-4?
e. How many terms of the Maclaurin series are required to approximate C(-0.25) with an error no greater than 10-6?
