The error in approximating the integral
by that of a Taylor approximation
is at most
In the following exercises, the Taylor remainder estimate
guarantees that the integral of the Taylor polynomial of the given order approximates the integral of
with an error less than
- Evaluate the integral of the appropriate Taylor polynomial and verify that it approximates the CAS value with an error less than
- Compare the accuracy of the polynomial integral estimate with the remainder estimate.
