a. Sketch a phase portrait for the dynamical system
b. In his paper “On the Measurement of the
210 B.C.) uses the approximation
to estimate cos(30°). He does not explain how he arrived at these estimates. Explain how we can obtain these approximations from the dynamical system in part a. Hint:
c. Without using technology, explain why
Hint: Consider
d. Based on the data in part b, give an underestimate of the form
