In this problem, you will investigate the error in the degree Taylor approximation, , to about for various values of .

(a) Let . Using a calculator or computer, graph for , and notice what shape the graph is. Then use the Error Bound for Taylor polynomials to find a formula for the maximum error, as a function of , in this case:
.

Graph the actual error and your error bound together to see that the error is in fact below the maximum error bound (but close to it).

(b) Let . Choose a suitable range and graph for . Again, notice what shape the graph of is. Then use the Error Bound for Taylor polynomials to find a formula for the maximum error, as a function of , in this case:
.

Graph the actual error and your error bound together to see that the error is in fact below the maximum error bound (but close to it).
