Problem 4
Find a geometric power series for the function, centered at 0, (a) by the technique shown in Examples 1 and 2 and (b) by long division. $$ f(x)=\frac{1}{1+x} $$
Problem 8
Find a first-degree polynomial function \(P_{1}\) whose value and slope agree with the value and slope of \(f\) at \(x=c .\) Use a graphing utility to graph \(f\) and \(P_{1} .\) What is \(P_{1}\) called? $$ f(x)=\tan x, \quad c=\frac{\pi}{4} $$
Problem 8

Problem 35
Approximate the sum of the series by using the first six terms.\(\sum_{n=0}^{\infty} \frac{(-1)^{n} 2}{n !}\)
Problem 45
Use a graphing utility to graph the first 10 terms of the sequence. Use the graph to make an inference about the convergence or divergence of the sequence. Verify your inference analytically and, if the sequence converges, find its limit. $$ a_{n}=\cos \frac{n \pi}{2} $$
