3. Use Taylor’s theorem to estimate the error resulting from the approximation
Arctan(1/V3) pi(1/V3). Is pi(1/ V3) an overestimate or an underestimate ?
(Notice that pi(x) = po(x). You may need the fact that the third derivative of the function
f(x) = Arctan x is f(x) = (6x* + 4a” = 2)/(1+ 2*)*). (6 pts)
