Explanation / Answer

According to Taylor's theorem,

f(x)= f(0)+xf'(0)+(x2/2!)f''(0)+(x3/3!)f''(0)+.......

Now, for f(x)=arctan(x),

f'(x)=1/(1+x2). Therefore, f'(0)=1.

f''(x)=-2x/(1+x2)2. Therefore, f''(0)=0

Similarly, we can find f'''(0)=2 and so on....

Substituting these values in the above series, we get

f(x)=0+x.1+(x2/2!).0+(x3/3!).2+.......

Now, taking the approximate value of the series upto fourth term (with third order derivative, as stated in the question), we get

arctan(0.4)=0.4+0.43/3=0.421333 (upto 6th decimal place)

Actual value of arctan(0.4)=0.380506 (upto 6th decimal place)

Therefore, the exact value of the error is 0.421333-0.380506=0.040827 (upto 6th decimal place).
