Short Answer

In Exercises 49–56 find the Taylor series for the specified function and the given value of x0. Note: These are the same functions and values as in Exercises 41–48.

55. cos2x,π4

The Taylor series for the function f(x)=cos2x at x=π4 is Pn(x)=k=0(1)k+122k+1(2k+1)!(xπ4)2k+1

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1. Given data

We have the function f(x)=cos2x

Step 2. Table of the taylor series  

Any function f with a derivative of order n, the taylor series at x=π4 is given by,

Pn(x)=f(π4)+f(π4)(xπ4)+f′′(π4)2!(xπ4)2+f′′(π4)3!(xπ4)3+f′′′′(π4)4!(xπ4)4+

we can write the general of the Taylor series of the function f is,

Pn(x)=k=0fk(x0)k!(xx0)n

So, let us first construct the table of the Taylor series for the function f(x)=cos2x at x=π4

nfn(x)fn(π4)fn(π4)n!
0cos2x00
12sin2x-2-2
222cos2x00
323sin2x23233!
............
2k(1)k22kcos2x00
2k+1(1)k+122k+1sin2x(1)k+122k+1(1)k+122k+1(2k+1)!
............

Step 3. Taylor series for the f(x)=cos2x

The Taylor series for the function f(x)=cos2x at x=π4 is

Pn(x)=0+2(xπ4)+02!(xπ4)2+233!(xπ4)3++0(2k)!(xπ4)2k+(1)k+122k+1(2k+1)!(xπ4)2k+1+

Or we can write this as Pn(x)=k=0(1)k+122k+1(2k+1)!(xπ4)2k+1
