Problem

Consider the function f(x)=sin⁡(3x2)f(x)=\sin\bigl(3x^{2}\bigr). (a) Determine the first four non-zero terms of the Maclaurin series for f(x)f(x) and write the result as a polynomial in ascending powers of xx. Clearly indicate each coefficient. (b) Use the polynomial found in part (a) to approximate f(0.2)f(0.2). Report your answer to six decimal places.
