We to find an error bound for the approximation and compare it to the actual error. The exact value of sin(0.34)=0.33348709214081. So, the actual error is (0.333487092140810.33349)=2.91×106 The bound for the error on [0.30, 0.35] is given by, |f(x)H5(x)|=|f6(ξ)6!(x=0.30)2(x0.32)2(x0.35)2|=|sin(ξ)720(x0.30)2(x0.32)2(x0.35)2| When ξ[0.30,0.35]. Evaluating this error term at x = 0.34 yields,

|sin(0.34)H5(0.34)|=|sin(ξ)720(0.04)2(0.02)2(0.01)2|
|sin(0.35)720(0.04)2(0.02)2(0.01)2|
 3.05×1014

This bound is not inconsistent with the actual error, because the approximation was computed using five-digit rounding arithmetic.
