【what] does it mean by the term" approximate to four decimal place accuracy"
hey
I have a question. What does it mean by the term " approximate to four decimal place accuracy". For instance, I want to approximate cos(pi/5) to four decimal place using the macluarin series.
The actual value of cos(pi/5) is: 0.809016994Does this mean that the first five decimal place of the value I obtain from the series must match exactly as 0.80901? What about the rounding?
What if I got something like
1)0.809071
2) 0.809014
Do they still fit into the problem?
