Tabulate the function f(x) = sin x for x = 0.0(0.2)1.6. From this table estimate, by linear interpolation, the value of sin 1.23. Construct a table equivalent to Figure 2.102, and so estimate the error in your value of sin 1.23. Use a pocket calculator to obtain a value of sin 1.23 and compare this with your estimates.
