Let f(x)=sin⁡xf(x)=\sin x. A third–degree Taylor polynomial P3P_3 is used to approximate ff near x=0x=0. (a) Write P3(x)P_3(x) for ff centered at x=0x=0. Show your work. (b) Using your result from part (a), determine a numerical upper bound for ∣f(0.200)−P3(0.200)∣|f(0.200)-P_3(0.200)|. Clearly state any values you use to justify your bound.
