We are asked to find the Maclaurin series for a function involving
cos(x)
. Recall the Maclaurin series for
cos(x)
.
cos(x)=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (-1)^(n)(x^(2n))/((2n)!)
The same equality would be true for any variable, and in particular for
u=(1)/(14)x^(2)
. Therefore, the Maclaurin series for
cos((1)/(14)x^(2))
is
\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (-1)^(n)((x)^(2n))/((2n)!)=\sum_(n=0)^(\infty ) (-1)^(n)(x^(4n))/((2n)!)
