Fixes suggestion in #3597
Description
After closing #3597 , it was pointed out by a community member that while the changes made sense in isolation, they broke the flow of the tutorial overall. In particular, the tutorial develops a number of examples around sin(x). So, this is mostly a one-liner to revert to sin(x) instead of exp(x).
As agreed in the discussion in #3597 , I also suggest in comments experimentation with exp(x) or other functions with faster polynomial convergence.
The learning rate had to be reduced for this by a factor 10 in order to converge with autograd.
I also fixed a trivial documentation typo.
