Find the expansion of cos x about the point x=0

Cos x = 1 - + - + ...

Step-by-step explanation:

We use Taylor series expansion to answer this question.

We have to find the expansion of cos x at x = 0

f(x) = cos x, f'(x) = -sin x, f''(x) = -cos x, f'''(x) = sin x, f''''(x) = cos x

Now we evaluate them at x = 0.

f(0) = 1, f'(0) = 0, f''(0) = -1, f'''(0) = 0, f''''(0) = 1

Now, by Taylor series expansion we have

f(x) = f(a) + f'(a)(x-a) + + + + ...

Putting a = 0 and all the values from above in the expansion, we get,

Cos x = 1 - + - + ...

a

step-by-step explanation:

the denominator cannot be the same as one of the factors.

8 denominator times 2 denominator = 16

and 7 numerator time 11 = 77

77/16= 77/16 ( they cannot be further simplified)
