Recursive integration We know that
0cosa1sint=0tcossds<t
for 0<t<z<x. Integrating over (0,z) we get
1cosz=0zsintdt<0ztdt=z22
that is for all 0<z<x we have,
1z22<cosz1
integrating again over (0,x) we get
xx36=0x1z22dz<0xcoszdz=sinx
that is
xx36<sinx<x
continuing with this process you get,
1x22<cosx<1x22+x424
xx36<sinx<xx36+x55!
More generally for n1, by induction we get
k=02n1(1)kx2k(2k)!<cosx<k=02n1(1)kx2k(2k)!+x4n(4n)!
k=02n1(1)kx2k+1(2k+1)!<sinx<
