Taylor Series and Error Bound

What is the maximum possible error generated in using the 5th degree Maclaurin polynomial for sin(x) for x in the interval [−0.3, 0.3]?


the absolute value of 0.3 raised to the 7th power over 6 factorial

the absolute value of 0.3 raised to the 6th power over 6 factorial

The value cannot be determined.

There is no error. The value will be exact.

The maximum value is 0.3 and 5+1=6, is the answer B because of the Lagrange Error Bound formula?
