i just want to know how we wil do this...
You can start by following the instructions and filling out the table by plugging the given values into the provided formulas. Then come back with the results of your "discussion".

I tlooks pretty straight forward, to me. Plug in the values and do the arithmetic. If you have a nice calculator, you can just codde the function and get it to tell you the values.

I think I wouldn't worry too much about the x-column. 11/360 just isn't a real nice value, before or after facting out \(\displaystyle \pi\).
 
But i dont how they solve the 5 degree..
i mean how they do it...
i want help in it..
 
To change degrees to radians multiply by pi/180. 5° = pi/36 radians.
(If that isn't the question, I'm sorry. It doesn't show up well for me.)

What? Why is it different from the others? Just plug in the value of x and evauate the expression.

Start with the conversion 11º = 11/360 = 0.03055...

x - (x^3)/6

0.03056 - (0.03056^3)/6 = 0.03056

x - (x^3)/6 + (x^5)/120

0.03056 - (0.03056^3)/6 + (0.03056^5)/120 = 0.03056

That's just the general idea. I didn't use enough decimal places for either of those to make much difference. You use more decimal places and you will get different results. Use at least 10.
