6. Solution.
First we plot the graph of f, p_1(x), p_3(x) and p_5(x).

close;clear;
x0=-1;x1=1; x=x0:0.001:x1;
f=@(x) sin(pi/2*x);
p5= @(x) pi* x/2 - (pi^3* x.^3)/48 + (pi^5 *x.^5)/3840;
p3=@(x) pi* x/2 - (pi^3* x.^3)/48;
p1=@(x) pi* x/2;
plot(x,p5(x),'--')
hold on
plot(x,p3(x),'-.')
hold on
plot(x,p1(x),':')
hold on
plot(x,f(x))
legend('n=5','n=3','n=1','analytic')

The result is shown on the first graph.

And also we plot the error of p_1(x), p_3(x) and p_5(x) with respect to f.

close;clear;
x0=-1;x1=1; x=x0:0.001:x1;
f=@(x) sin(pi/2*x);
p5= @(x) pi* x/2 - (pi^3* x.^3)/48 + (pi^5 *x.^5)/3840;
p3=@(x) pi* x/2 - (pi^3* x.^3)/48;
p1=@(x) pi* x/2;
plot(x,abs(f(x)-p5(x)),'--')
hold on
plot(x,abs(f(x)-p3(x)),'-.')
hold on
plot(x,abs(f(x)-p1(x)))
legend('n=5','n=3','n=1');

The result is shown on the second graph.
