Use a suitable linearization to find an approximate value of

Use a suitable linearization to find an approximate value of – sin(36°) = - sin(π/5) as follows: (a) Explain why 30º = π/6 is a good tabular point; (b) Give the equation of the tangent line at the tabular point and the value of the approximation; (c) Give an upper bound for the error function |E (36°)|; (d) Show that - sin(36°) ∈ (-0.59068, -0.59681).
