Some hints about getting help.
1. Post in the correct forum, we have homework help forums. Use them.
2. Show that you have at least tried something.


For your problem. Look at the Taylor series approximations of sin and Tan. Use enough of the series for each to capture the fact that they are different seriss. Take the difference.
