but for 10% error, we can check option (B) first,


q = 18c = 18c # p = 0.314

sin q = sin 18c = 0.309
% error = 0.314 - 0.309 # 100% = 0.49%

Now, we check it for q = 50c

Taylor series is given as
(x - a) 2
f (x) = f (a) + x - a f'( a) + f"( a) + ...
1! 2!
For x = p we have
(x - p) 2
Thus f (x) = f (p) + x - p f'( p) + f"( x)...
1! 2!
Now f (x) = ex + sin x
f'( x) = ex + cos x
f"( x) = ex - sin x
f"( p) = e p - sin p = e p
