Example 2: Approximating sin(x) with Taylor Polynomials and Calculating its Error
In this video I go over a very in-depth video exploring the trigonometric sine function, its Taylor polynomials approximation, and its associated error. The Maclaurin polynomial (Taylor series centered at a = 0) approximation has alternating signs, is decreasing, and the terms approach zero, thus we can use the Alternating Series Estimation Theorem to calculate the error. Later, I show that we can get the same result using Taylor's Inequality as well as via graphing the error directly with Desmos graphing calculator. When we approximate functions, it is important to center it near the value of x we want to approximate, because the series converges more rapidly. Lastly, I show how graphing multiple Maclaurin Polynomials for sin(x) get more and more accurate as we increase the number of terms, hence increasing the degree of polynomials.
