  1. Show that \(\cos x = \sin \left( x + \frac { \pi } { 2 } \right)\).
  2. Hence show that \(\sin x \approx \frac { 16 x ( \pi - x ) } { 5 \pi ^ { 2 } - 4 x ( \pi - x ) }\) gives the approximation \(\cos x \approx \frac { \pi ^ { 2 } - 4 x ^ { 2 } } { \pi ^ { 2 } + x ^ { 2 } }\), as stated in line 31. \section*{END OF QUESTION PAPER} OCR is committed to seeking permission to reproduce all third-party content that it uses in its assessment materials.
