Section 5.2, Extension of Exercise 79 (page 462) Answers

(a) They are not equal but are very close. It is difficult to find a viewing window in
which appears to be different.
(b) Let h = 0.001. The graph of in appears to be a
sinusoid. It is a sinusoid because is the sum of three sinusoids all with period

Art instructions: The scale marks are on the horizontal axis and are 0.01 on the
vertical axis.

(c) The graph of in the window shows that the error in the approximation is less than 0.001 because
